Dear Frank:
  How can I revise the address of linked to boot in U-Boot Makefile or config file ? Thanks !
  I use the mkimage utility of PPCBoot to relocate the entry point to 0x1000, but I still get the 
 "starting at 0x280000.....". How to make it effect? Thanks !

Sorry,
But you will have to recompile u-boot at that address. It's
originally compiled and linked to boot at 0xfff00100. I don't
know what you have to do with vxWorks rom...
