Actually, the message indicating "%SYS-4-CONFIG_NEWER" is generated by the
bootstrap code in reference to the the startup-config information stored in
NVRAM. If the bootstrap mini-IOS code is of a version less than the full
IOS version loaded within the router, this warning will appear during the
boot sequence.
The warning indicates that the "config is newer" than the mini-IOS within
the bootstrap--should the full IOS fail and the router be required to use
the mini-IOS bootstrap image, some commands "may not be correctly
understood".
It's just a cautionary note -- one that's really not well understood in
industry I think, but why should it be? How often does an administrator not
have a properly working full IOS and has to rely on the mini-IOS within the
router?

This means you made the initial configuration in an older IOS version (held
in NVRAM) & the router is more of less reminding you that not all commands
will be understood from that older code. This is a default & does not
always mean you will have issues. Actually- I goof with the IOS versions
all the time in my home lab & can count on a coupel of fingers- how many
times I've had issue dealing with new/old commands.
