Off the top of my mind; ...

The only thing that you need to know IIRC is that the boot address is at
0xfff00000. I believe that's fixed. If your bootloader is placed there,
you can let it jump to whereever you want.

No, it is not. Assuming we're talking about PowerPC systems only:  it
may  be  at 0x0100 on some systems, or 0xFFF00100 on others, orit may
be configurable (for example with a jumper) to  be  either  of  these
addresses, or it may be 0xFFFFFFFC on other processors.

Best regards,
