Don't try to run any code from any specific address at all.  Let  the
CPU  do what it wants to do. Force a reset, and then just single step
in your debugger. I would be surprised if the CPU would not start  at
either 0x0100 or 0xFFF0100.

It is as good as any other. You can map the flash basicly  everywhere
and get a working system.

Oops? I cannot parse that. Reset the HRCW? What exactly do you mean?

The HRCW is something you (resp. your hadrware) applies to the bus at
reset. Study the schematics of your hw - this might be as  simple  as
pull-ups  or  -downs  (if  your  hw  is  half-broken),  or  some more
sophisticated way to drive  a  certain  value  on  the  bus  in  this
situation.  Unless  you  use some prgrammable device fort his purpose
you cannot "reset" the HRCW - and if you can change it, it will  take
effect  only  at  the next reset. It will definitely not make the CPU
"jump to the correct instruction location".
