Alan,

It sounds as though you have already changed the value of IMAP_ADDR in
the header file for your specific board (found in linux/include/asm).
You must also make sure that your processor's boot code sets the IMMR
register to this same value before booting the Linux kernel.  Your boot
code should also setup an MMU entry for the IMMR's address by writing to
the MD_EPN register (MMU Data Effective Page Number Reg) of the PPC.
For an example of how this is done you can refer to the boot code for
the QS850 (MPC850-based board).  The source is located at
ftp://qslinux.org.  Once you uncompress the tarball you can go to
snmc/qslinux/qs850boot and view the file init_qs850.s.  Hope this helps.
