Andrew- What Microsoft did with X-box is interesting. They faced a similar problem -- no EEPROM on the processor itself. So they used a Flash ROM device with a small bootloader (processor) to handle decryption during boot. They did some things with JTAG also, like

What does happen if the INT2 is not assigned into 30 clocks from the reset vector fetch, but only after 100 clocks. Maybe someone knows how many time it takes to the bootloader to do a loop around all the boot mode possibilities.
