[c-nsp] FWSM upgrade

[Ge Moua]

i agree with tony here.

if you are somewhat paranoid; then take the compact flash and do:
dd to snapshot image
dd snapshot image to another compact flash with same capacity

if anything goes wrong with the upgrade then you have an exact replica 
of the previous f/s, ios, etc.

the fwsm is some linux derivative with a vanilla boot partition & ext 
filesystem

i've done this before and this works well.
