[c-nsp] 6513 config register... scratching head a little.

[Ryan Lambert]

Hi all,

I'm in the process of migrating a 6513 from a Sup2 to a Sup32, and I've
found myself in a bit of a funny situation where I'm questioning the boot
config on a device for rollback planning. This is probably a very easy one,
but I'm just a bit uneasy about this particular chassis.

Basically I'm just trying to confirm that despite the fact that this 10 meg
file is called 'bootflash', with the config register set the way it is, and
the boot system statements in the config set the way they are, if I need to
slide the old sup back in, it'll default boot off of this supposed
'bootflash' image despite it not being specified. My suspicion is that it
was renamed file since it's almost identical in size to the 8.6(4) .bin
image, but whether or not this was a forced manual boot two years ago I am
not certain.

I'm also eyeballing the CONFIG_FILE variable with some uncertainty.
I *think* I need to clean that up. Switch is in binary config
mode/non-recurring fwiw.

So, here is my sh version (notice system boot image file),

here's a dir bootflash: all,
