The code is available in svn on balloonboard.org, use something like:

svn co svn://balloonboard.org/balloon2/trunk/bootldr36 <dir>

to get the sources.

bootldr.c does contain a routine named zbss - however it's inside an #ifdef
ZBSS which is not defined anywhere so presumably isn't being compiled.

The linker commands are in bootldr.ld.in which does mention the BSS.

Colin
