Hello John,

this chassis is running in hybrid mode so there may be two bootflash here:

one on sup2 and one on MSFC2.

for the second question, it may be a question of the size of the PCMCIA card.

I remember that in conversion to IOS document says that a minimum catos version is needed to support 64 MB cards.

see

Supervisor Engine 2 ROMMON version 7.1(1) or later supports the MEM-C6K-ATA-1-64M= (64 MB) PCMCIA ATA FlashDisk device

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps708/products_tech_note09186a008015bfa6.shtml#dram

it looks like you have a rommon newer then catos version.

Hope to help

Giuseppe

Thanks.

Cisco document says that sup2 has 32MB flash and the MSFC2 also has 32MB flash. So I'm expecting two separate 32MB memory. We have another switch with same hardware but it displays 32MB flash in sup2 and 32MB flash in MSFC. But that one is running 7.6 OS. I will try to upgrade this one to higher OS. Thanks.
