Oops! Thanks for pointing that blooper. I am so used
to dealing with the U-Boot header of 64 bytes that I
misread the ELF header size as 64 bytes instead of 64
KBytes. 

Anyways, it looks like I am much farther that I have
ever been before. Now, I see that the PC is stuck at
some address that I am not sure what to make off. Is
this before the MMU has been turned on? Also, it looks
like my BDI is not showing the "Debug entry cause"
correctly.

BDI>info
    Target CPU        : MPC8280/8220/5200 (Zeppo)
    Target state      : debug mode
    Debug entry cause : <reserved 0>
    Current PC        : 0x00401890
    Current CR        : 0x20002024
    Current MSR       : 0x00002040
    Current LR        : 0x0040084c

I am not sure how I can map this address to some
address in the kernel. Could this be due to the
unavailability of bdinfo? Do I have to put in support
in the kernel to pass bdinfo? Thanks much.
