It's asking you for the device ie. which flash to store the image on and you are typing in the image name. When it asks you for the device eg -

Flash device [bootflash]?

just hit return.

In a 2948 (cat 4000 code) it is bootflash for the destination or source as indicated in the prompt . Flash is the general term used in IOS based switches and routers for storage.
