(Will your application really be so big that 1M isn't enough?)

I suspect you would want to use ROM startup or create a new ROMAPP startup
type, with a modified memory map to locate it at a particular flash address,
probably with "use a ROM monitor" enabled. You would also have to configure
RedBoot to run it.

However I have not done this myself so will have to leave the question open...
