"Nail on the head": ARM does not come with BIOS. One of the effects is that the
processor can not find out easily what hardware is connected, and has to be
told exactly which memory address to read. That is told by the bootloader,
which is located in the boot-partition of the NAND (and thus at a known
location). Don't ask me too much of the details; its mostly hearsay I repeat ;-)
