Yeah, the R-Pi is weird... as I recall, the graphics core is what gets
started at boot, and IT is what loads the Linux image into the ARM
processor. Though the newer SoCs may do things differently (the foundation
pages mention that is an interactive bootload is needed, one should use
u-Boot -- which may imply a way to have the GPU load a secondary
boot-loader... actually, Google found one site that mentions replacing the
kernel.img file with one containing u-Boot... Which would make it a third
stage bootloader; first and second stage loaders running in the proprietary
GPU)
