The 4500 uses a boot helper image when it starts up. The boot helper is a
cut down IOS that (hopefully) recognises most of your devices (useful if
you need to use tftp) and then tries to load the main IOS.
You shouldnt need to upgrade the bootflash, although I would make sure you
have a fairly up to date boot helper image as the boot helper is actually
quite helpfull if there are problems loading your main ios image.
