Hello,

I was looking at head.S under arch/ppc/kernel and it seems the  
comment above ".globl __start" is slightly off. Under
the PMAC section it mentions that .text/.data/.bss are loaded @ 0x0,  
while they could be pretty much loaded anywhere but 0x0, with OF
exception vectors being there. Am I understanding this correctly?

The comment is pre-historical :) The zImage used to put the kernel at 0
and BootX puts it there too, but the former has been changed. The kernel
can indeed be loaded pretty much anywhere.

Ben.
