At boot time the ROM will be at 0x0 so that the reset vector is in the
ROM. But once the image is running, the ROM will be remapped to a
higher address and RAM mapped down to 0x0. You need to do this so that
you can change the vectors.

Bad assumption.... A good way to work with eCos is assume its
correct. When it appears wrong, still assume its correct and try to
work out why it correct. Generally you are missing something which is
why you think its wrong.....

Undo what you have done!
