What is it your trying to do, boot the MSFC from the sup slot0? If so you can't from ROMMON. You must have a VLAN up and running or it will not work. since you apparently have a boot image in bootflash bring your MSFC up in the boot image, config up a VLAN and add you boot variable pointing to the image on the sup-slotx: and this should work.
If you trying to get to the ROMMON from a switch con don't pull or power off the switch sup, just reload the MSFC and issue a break.
