Hmmm. It occurs to me that I could probably have done the same instead of 
hacking the zImage code. I was assuming that RedBoot required the first 
page of memory, but it actually sets up the parameter block after disabling 
interrupts and flushing caches, etc - just before jumping into the kernel. 
So I should be able to just specify '-b 0' to the exec command.
