I apologize -- your are right that the 512MB DIMM is for the Supervisors memory. However, there is another built in 64MB flash module, in addition to a Compact Flash card slot, that you can use for storing the IOS image. Bootflash is the builtin module, and Slot0 refers to the CF card slot.
Here's a better look specifically at the Supervisor V:

Hi,
The default is a SODIMM memory chip installed on the Supervisor module, but the 4500 Supervisor V also has a slot for a compact flash.
See http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst4500/hardware/module/guide/01overvw.html#wp1085814 for additional info.
Good luck,
Brandon

You don't necessarily need to remove the DIMM, unless it's already bad or you have some other reason. You can use this article to show you how to set the boot parameters to boot off the CF card:
Good luck!
