I have my boot code properly located in boot flash, but string literals
defined in that code are ending up in application flash. For example,

108:                 void __attribute__ ((section (".BootLoadStartup")))
bCopyExtFlashToPic(UINT32 StartAddr){
9FC00680  27BDFFC0   addiu       sp,sp,-64
9FC00684  AFBF0038   sw          ra,56(sp)
9FC00688  AFBE0034   sw          s8,52(sp)
9FC0068C  AFB00030   sw          s0,48(sp)
9FC00690  03A0F021   addu        s8,sp,zero
9FC00694  AFC40040   sw          a0,64(s8)


This is properly located in boot flash (0x9fc...)

But, here's some code where I'm printing a string literal:

124:                   bUart2TxStringPolled("\r\nCopyExtFlashToPic from 0x"=
);
9FC006E4  3C029D02   lui         v0,0x9d02
9FC006E8  244467B0   addiu       a0,v0,26544
9FC006EC  0FF00364   jal         0x9fc00d90
9FC006F0  00000000   nop


Note that it is pointing to the string in the 0x9d02 area. Looking at the
pointer passed into bUart2TxStringPolled, I find it at 0x9d0267b0, which
is not in the boot section.

How can I force code in the boot section that has a string literal to
locate the literal in the boot section?

THANKS!

Harold
