To quote Grant Erickson in
http://lists.linuxppc.org/listarcs/linuxppc-embedded/200001/msg00123.html:

"You don't ever want to change KERNELLOAD or KERNELBASE, otherwise the
virtual memory and MMU code will all break."

This seems to be a common error, so I might add mention of it in the HOWTO.

Regards,
Graham
