Hi, I am using the  following confregs,  

              SP    RP
Main       0x2102   0x2102
Standby    0x102    0x2102

According to 6509 Doc the above confregs are recommended.

one more thing, one of our member given the solution to FORMAT the 
flash. but i am little bit confused with the following...

format <[m/]device1:>

CAT_1> (enable) sh flash
-#- ED --type-- --crc--- -seek-- nlen -length- -----date/time------ 
name
  1 .. ffffffff b0b70a41  cd1ec0   26 12918336 Mar 23 2004 16:48:55 
cat6000-sup2cvk9.8-1-3.bin

19063104 bytes available (12918464 bytes used)



can anybody guide me, how to format the flash.
