what I meant was from the IOS from routing blade/rp/msfc (was probably trying to save on typing!!) when running in hybrid mode, the 6k can't see the flash. But when upgrading from the hybrid to native it can't see the flash until the IOS images are loaded, so when the SP changes console ownership to the RP and enters rommon mode that's where I got stuck.
