Hello Haris,
following document can be of help
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps700/products_tech_note09186a008015bfa1.shtml
I'm little confused by the lines you have attached:
>> System Bootstrap, Version 8.5(2)
this looks like old similar to CatOS, I've checked on one of my devices
>> Autoboot executing command: "boot disk1:s72033-ipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-18.SXF13.
this is a native IOS image
Have you moved the flash from another device running native IOS?
I wonder if this specific C6500 is to be prepared for native IOS that is if it is expecting to work in hybrid mode.
If so you may need to perform the conversion procedure from CATos to IOS before the system can boot a native IOS image
Hope to help

Hello Haris
Normally cat6500 with sup 32 or 720 it will take 20 to 25 mins to boot
At this point 5 to 8 min to boot to next level

Dears ,
I downloaded the image s72033-adventerprisek9_wan-vz.122-33.SXH6.bin and put it in my disk1: and then i tried booting from the rommon mode to boot disk1:s72033-adventerprisek9_wan-vz.122-33.SXH6.bin and it succeeded .
But there is still something wrong . I'm getting the below error on my show version and also when i reboot it's going to rommon eenthough i configured "boot system disk1:s72033-adventerprisek9_wan-vz.122-33.SXH6.bin" .
"Patching is not available since the system is not running from an installed imag
e. To install please use the "install file" command "

and save the config also verify the next boot image
show bootvar
or
show boot

Hello Haris,
those messages are related to the fact that you have moved to modular IOS and are only warnings.
Be aware that modular IOS for C6500 is affected by some bugs as reported by other colleagues in the forums.
so unless you strictly need modular IOS for some feature, it may be wise to use a standard IOS image. You should be able to download it from sw center.
About conversion from CatOS to IOS you need to follow the procedure according to your supervisor (steps depend on supervisor type) :
