I eventually worked it out. It seems that you can't see a flash card on a RP on a 6000. I'd done a lot of testing with a loaned 6500 for upgrading from Cat OS Hybrid IOS and back again, just in case. On the 65 you can see the flash and so boot from it in rommon, which is great because I can leave my old images on the bootflash. On the 6000 though, no go, so I had to clear out my bootflash and hope that I didn't have to revert back and use all x modem etc. Strange thing was though that I have 4 identical 6Ks, 2 with Cat OS and the other 2 with native IOS, the Cat OS 6ks couldn't see the flash card in the RP but could with the SP, the IOS ones could see it no prob's.
I couldn't find anything on the CCO about this, maybe it's not possible on the 65 to see the flash from the RP - I don't have one to test, but my documentation was (at least I thought it was before Sat') pretty comprehensive on the upgrade process. I know there are issues with the naming in the SP and RP and adding sup- to the device name. >From you email it looks like you can, have you tried this running hybrid or only native?
