I am currently only interested in where the bootloader is stored on the Kindle 3.

If the Kindle 3 uses some other place besoides the MMC that contains the Linux partitions, I want to know how I can access that to back it up, and reflash it for experimentation and also to restore it to it's original state when I'm done.

I have read some of the Freescale documentation, but it doesn't mention the boot process. Perhaps I am looking at the wrong document, I was reading:
