[c-nsp] Cat 6500/sup720 doesn't boot

[Artem Viklenko]

Some time ago I had to reuse old SUP32B which was not used
for several years. I don't remember all details, but finally
problem was fixed after replacing on-board batteries and
very-very long process of loading IOS via serial console...

The point was that nvram forgets all data every time the
borad was reset. SUB32B has 2 batteries - both was replaced.
Not sure about Sup720 and don't know if it is your case but
it worth to check.
