Your RAMdisk image is corrupt, almost undoubtedly in RAM, not the flash 
storage version.

This is indicating your RAM and/or RAM memory map is messed up.  I'm 
guessing that, if you use the memory write command to write to the 256K 
location (0x10000000), you will find that the same value has "magically" 
appeared at location 0... IOW, your RAM memory map has two copies of 
half of your memory (address aliasing).

If you do a RAM test, it should detect this problem.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the Sequoia family, so I cannot tell you 
how to fix this.

Good luck and happy reading,
