This is what I do with my RSP4 CPUs - They boot off slot0 with the boot 
image (usually 12.2.27), then load the IOS image off disk1. Problem is 
that the RSP4+ tries to boot off disk1, fails (presumably due to the an 
alignment issue that Rodney mentioned.

I just traded the linear flash cards I had for larger cards, then I'll 
just boot direct from linear flash and use the ATA flash for temorary 
image storage and other stuff.
