[c-nsp] Cisco mem issue

[Alex Pressé]

Yup; looks like this:

System Bootstrap, Version 12.3(8r)YH13, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
Technical Support: http://www.cisco.com/techsupport
Copyright (c) 2008 by cisco Systems, Inc.

Failed all 0xffffffff test
Bad RAM at location 0x8800095C: wrote 0xFFFFFFFF, read 0xFFFFFDFF

<snip>

DDR memory test failed.  Resetting the router ...


Just have a *booted *and configured spare on hand for any future reloads.
