With Rockbox, we don't care about the flash or how it does to copy the
firmware from flash to ram as we only put a file on disk and let the factory
software load it from disk directly into ram.

You need to edit the .lds file to use the correct addresses that your system
needs.

If you use the most recent code off CVS, there's only one single .lds file
named firmware/app.lds that controls details such as this.
