Bootloader

I think I have got a bit further with getting the bootloader to work.

I tried putting a bootloader built on NetBSD into flash on my Assabet
board using the JTAG interface. I couldn't get a RAM based image to
work on top of Angel.

It gets up to the point where boot-sa11x0.s tests whether the code is
running at the address where it was linked. My build is out by 0x20,
so it tries to move around the flash image.

I can flash the bootloader from v0.11 but it failed to write the Linux
kernel to flash. I suspect the Assabet board uses a different flash
device from the iPaq.

I'll look at it some more on Friday.
