If it is reset proof, you should be able to reboot via the boot loader!

Yes. Add another kludge to the boot loader, so that it adds a fixed memory
region to the memory list reported to the system.

Maybe this could be an option to the loader, something like

netbsd -m 0x8000000 -M 0x8100000

would load it at the memory segment beginning 8000000.

Do you feel you can work on this?
