The flash is mapped to 0xff800000 but the CPU starts executing at
0xfff00100 (reset vector)
0xfff000000 contains the Hardware Configuration word. 

The HRCW is what decides the reset vector address, and ont eh motorola
ADS boards, theis is eityher feced from FLASH, or from a PLD, depening
om a board jumper/switch.

Flash the image at an offset so that when booting from FLASH SIMM, the
image is located at 0xfff00000
(When booting from EEPROM, find out the SIMM flash base address, and
program at an offset of 0x00700000 into it)
