im not exaclty sure on this, but i am pretty sure that the updating of the
flash rom is controlled not by the m68k prcoessor itself, but other
hardware, with its own firmware to do this.  probly at the linkport
controller itself.  this would allow all the flash rom to be overwritten,
and not ahve to be careful to keep any importnatn functions.  but, i am not
precisely sure on this.
