[c-nsp] Sup720 ignores boot variable

Hi,

I am wondering why this sup720 ignores my boot variable and always boots
the first image it finds.

"dir" shows:
----------------------
Directory of sup-bootdisk:/

    1  -rw-    78212100   Jul 6 2010 17:27:04 +00:00 
s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXH2.bin
    2  -rw-    33554432   Jul 6 2010 17:36:30 +00:00  sea_log.dat
    3  -rw-   143347044  Jan 16 2014 21:47:46 +00:00 
s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXJ6.bin
----------------------

I tried:
boot system flash bootdisk:s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXJ6.bin
as well as
boot system flash sup-bootdisk:s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXJ6.bin
I removed the old boot entry.

after "wr mem" "sh bootvar" shows:
----------------------
BOOT variable =
(sup-)bootdisk:s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXJ6.bin,1;
CONFIG_FILE variable =
BOOTLDR variable =
Configuration register is 0x2102

Standby is not present.
----------------------

In both cases result is:
----------------------
Autoboot executing command: "boot bootdisk:"

Initializing ATA monitor library...
string is bootdisk:s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXH2.bin
Loading image, please wait ...
----------------------

If I delete s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXH2.bin it starts
s72033-advipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-33.SXJ6.bin
(which is now first image rommon finds).
sh version:
----------------------

...
----------------------

I then upgraded rommon (sp with c6ksup720-rm2.8-5-4.srec, rp with
c6msfc3-rm2.srec.122-17r.SX7) but still shows:
Autoboot executing command: "boot bootdisk:"

Is there some kind of sync issue or rommon bug or did I forget something ?

kind regards
Rolf
