No but I have recently upgraded a couple of Native mode switches to
12.1.13E2 and you CAN safely write to NVRAM:)

You don't load anything on "the MSFC" or "sup1A-2GE" in native mode
it is a big bad router:
Native6506#copy tftp slot0:
Address or name of remote host []? etc. etc. etc...
this is what I am running:
Native6506#dir slot0:
Directory of slot0:/
