Preference of hybrid or native? Compatibility issues with future Cisco
features?
Thanks

require the boot-helper image like the MSFC(1) s
Sorry to spoil the party but I've had a problem with IOS on 6Ks. With
version 12.1(3a)E4, using the console port would put the switch into rommon
mode, the switch would keep running but you couldn't config it, it's a
recognised bug I think. Apart from that though I think it simplifies things

Yes you can order the SUP in either mode.
When converting make sure you follow every step or you will be RMAing

LOL Funny you mention that. It is very true as before I came to this
job, one of the other people here tried to "wing it" through a conversion
and ended up having to RMA another Sup.. h
