No, it could be anywhere the bootloader chooses to stash it, probably below 
1M.  0 is as good a place as any for us: our "bootloader" doesn't live in the 
address space, and the kernel copies it somewhere safe almost immediately.

To be honest I'm not sure what normal bootloaders do, but you could record it 
somewhere and figure it out...

Cheers,
Rusty.
