last try, sorry about the multiple posts.

I must be doing something stupid, or I just don't understand how the 8567 boots from rom..., law entries, tables, etc...

Our board is using a MPC8567 with a 4 MEGByte boot rom flash (16 bit).... It has just 512MB of DDR2 memory(no ram on the local bus). I can get u-boot to come up to the prompt ok but only with a rom image(u-boot.bin) of 4MEG BYTE size and the settings in the files, see below. I am using the BDI to write the 4meg image to the rom. I guess I don't understand TEXT_BASE very well.. and how it relates to the boot location. What do I need to change to get a uboot image for the rom of reasonable size(say 512k instead of the 4meg)??? I have tried to change the value of TEXT_BASE to (xFFF8_0000) in the config.mk file(and other entries) but I must not be doing something else right.. Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated!! Am I writng the u-boot.bin to the wrong location in the flash when it is 512k?

Below is the relevant info from the files I think:

Thanks for your help in advance!
