[ECOS] linking a program for download to at91sam7x-resident redboot

Hi
I have configured, linked and downloaded redboot into my at91sam7x board.  
Its a minimum redboot, supporting only ser0 and ser1 for direct download  
into flash.

Then I wanted to change my little hello-program by linking it in such a  
way to go above redboot in the flash. Actually I placed it at 0x00120000 -  
far above redboot - by editing the ecos-provided target.ld-file. The  
memory-statement in this file now reads like this:

MEMORY
{
     ram : ORIGIN = 0x00200000, LENGTH = 0x20000
     rom : ORIGIN = 0x00120000, LENGTH = 0x80000
}

However, when running the linker, it produces errors and reports vectors  
etc. to be out of rom range. Correct, but I think I do not need these  
vectors here. What else do I have to change in the loader file (or  
elswhere) to get a linked program to be downloadable to/with redboot where  
it will be launched by a cor. redboot command (or a script later on)?  
Thanks for help.
    Robert
