Is this a case of the avr using word adressing, and gnu tools remaining
with the standard byte addressing? Here is what I did for the mega64,
yesterday, for the same purpose:

MEMORY
{     
  text   (rx)   : ORIGIN = 0, LENGTH = 62K
  boot   (rx)   : ORIGIN = 62K, LENGTH = 2K
  data   (rw!x) : ORIGIN = 0x800100, LENGTH = 4K
  eeprom (rw!x) : ORIGIN = 0x810000, LENGTH = 2K
}

...

  .boot :
  {
    *(.boot_vectors)
    *(.boot)
  } > boot

The length of the boot (flash) sector is 1K words, so we set 2K bytes.

Sorry if this is short, but my Christmas holiday started some hours ago,
and I'm still chained to the desk.
