_start is a label in the source code.  You need to understand what 
happens when you release your processor from reset: how and where it 
starts executing code.  In terms of u-boot software, the processor will 
start executing at the _start label (note that u-boot supports many 
different processors, all different in how they start running).

In terms of detail, the detail _is_ the source code and having us retype 
it in email isn't useful.

You will have to read u-boot source and your processor's Reference 
Manual, learn, and through that achieve understanding.  It is a zen 
thing.  There is no magic shortcut to the zen of understanding.  Sorry.
