Hi,

From the Q&A doc:

Q. What is the difference between the SP and RP bootflash/bootdisk?

A. SP bootflash/bootdisk is the location from where the system can load  and boot a Cisco IOS Software image. The more SP bootflash/bootdisk  space you have, the greater the number of Cisco IOS Software images you  have, and the greater the choice in what Cisco IOS Software images you  can boot from. An image can be loaded from the SP bootflash/bootdisk  using the command boot system flash sup-bootflash:IOS-image-name.  Multiple boot system flash commands can exist in the configuration file,  and it is the first in the list that will be used as the image from  which to boot the system. The RP bootflash can also be used as a storage  location for Cisco IOS Software images, although the system cannot  directly load an image from that location. The SP and RP bootflash can  also be used as a storage location for backup and alternate  configuration files. Configuration files that are required to be used as  an active configuration must be copied over to the running or startup  configuration.
