John-
You want it to boot the software you've already got up and running, so make
a copy of the IOS onto some compact flash. When you insert the redundant
Sup, have a console cable and terminal already connected so that you can
monitor its boot process. Once you see the Sup's memory displayed,
CTRL+BREAK and get to ROMMON. Then, tell it to boot that IOS you want from
the compact flash disk. If it boots correctly, you'll see console switch to
its MSFC and then [once booted] it'll download the config from the active
Sup and you'll be up and running. At that point, you'll want to move the
console to your active Sup and make sure that your standby Sup's bootflash
or bootdisk contains the IOS 12.2(18)SXF7 that you want. If not, make the
appropriate file copies from the active Sup's bootflash or bootdisk. (i.e.
copy sup-bootlfash:xxx.bin slavesup-bootflash:xxx.bin)
That's the short...I'm sure those links would help as well.
