Great procedure - I have a couple of recommendations to add.
Pull the second supervisor out and upgrade them one at a time. The secondary will try to take over when you reboot the first one to reset the bootrom.
Also, before you format the slot0: flash in IOS mode, swap the flash card with the secondary sup. That way, you have the IOS image on the CatOS formatted card and you don't have to do your TFTP a second time.
I upgraded about 5 Cats this way. Saved me a bunch of time having to set up the laptop on each one.
