What do you mean ? In the S2885 I built, the _RAMBASE is 0x4000 and 
hardwaremain is 0x5fe0 as you can get from the linuxbios_c.map. They
are both in RAM. If you use "objdump -drS linuxbios_c.o" you will
find the hardwaremain is at offset 0x1fe0 from the _RAMBASSE.

BTW, if you specify the -g option for gcc, you can use the -S option
in objdump to see the source code with the disassebmly (-d).
