That's not how I understand it works. "known memory location" has nothing to do with "last known good config". The processor will always start from the same point after a hardware reset (paperclip), it then may choose to alter the defaults to factory before it continues to boot, if it sees the other (home) button is also pressed - but that's AFTER the hardware reset, because a crashed processor cannot do anything.
