You won't find the location of the ASA image in a Firepower 1120. You can only view it using the FXOS CLI. The Firepower eXtensible Operating System (FXOS) is the supervisor and on top of it, you can either run the Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) or the classic ASA software. FXOS provides command-based interface for configuring features, monitoring chassis status, and accessing advanced troubleshooting features.
You can use the show version command to view the current ASA version and image file location. In this case the image file is not found in disk0 (flash).
