For example in RAM. Think of a PCI card which is plugged in a host
system, where the host runs some software to upload some code into
the PCI card's memory which then gets executed. See the PN62 board
for such a configuration.
There are several other methods to load U-Boot into RAM - for example
by using an initial bootstrap loader as used on some system to boot
from NAND flash or dataflash.
