[c-nsp] nvram writing config issue

[David Prall]

That dir nvram: will tell you how much nvram you actually have, I believe
64K. sh run should display how large the configuration is. "service
compress-config" will compress the config so that it fits in the limited
nvram you have, but boot times will be slowed since the config must be
decompressed at startup.

My 3560 is using 30K for config, but it is a very basic config. And
primarily routed interfaces. I also have 512K of nvram.
