The zImage should be loaded above the link address by at least the
amount of memory required by the uncompress/setup functions. If you
load it below the address, it could potentially relocate itself on
top of the kernel or ram disk image. For example, the uncompress/setup
functions are linked to run at 0x00400000, based upon the current size
of the functions, you need to load above 0x00407000. I would pick
0x00480000 or higher, just to not worry about it.

You could fix this typo....it should be 'physical'.
