I see. Sorry, I should've been more specific. Since the reset vector is
physical address 0x1FC00000 (which happens to be KSEG1 Addr 0xBFC00000 -
but that's getting too involved too soon), system designers ensure that
the Boot ROM begins at this address.

In the case of the Malta Evaluation board which MIPS advertises as the
evaluation board of choice, there is 4MB of NOR Flash which is mapped at
this location onwards.

Cheers,
