  If you are looking for a basic ROM bootloader example, take a look at
lcboot under sys/arch/hpcmips/stand.  This is for Vr4181 CPU.  There is
also a very minimal romboot in the same directory for a Vr4122 machine.
If you want something more complex and have the space you might consider
something like romboot to load a stripped down kernel with a md and use
kloader to load the final kernal image.
