This happened to me with one box.  One Sup1A would regularly crash to
ROMMON IIRC, needing manual boot execution for whatever reason.
Seemed to be a HW problem as swapping the sup cured it.  Didn't spend
any time investigating relative HW/FW version deltas as the quick swap
was a win.  Subsequent replacement of all Sup1As with Sup2s has shown
far better reliability.
