Where can I configure the base address?

Where can I configure the base address?

[Masahide Tomita]

Hello,

I'm struggling to get the kernel (zvmlinux) run on our custom board with
860T, but I think I get it loaded on wrong address.
I want the kernel starts from address 0x00000000, but I can't figure out
which file to set the base address for memory map.

And, I find System.map file in top directory ./linux-2.2.14 , but it seems
like it's a system map for vmlinux.
I also would like to know how to get the system map of zvmlinux (zImage),
if it's possible.

Thanks in advance.

The zImage is a relocating, "self extracting" file.  Remove the 64K
ELF header from the beginning of the file, load the resuling bag of
bits at or above 0x200000, and jump to that location.  The "bootloader"
will start, request kernel start options, uncompress the kernel to
address zero, and start it.

This has all been discussed many times, along with different booting
options.  Search the mailing list kernel for more information.
