This probably means your kernel was built to load at the wrong
address (likely zero). The PROM is at 0x2000, and something
else (ie the kernel) is overlapping it, which must mean the
other thing started in the wrong place. Chances are the
kernel should be at a higher start address. I don't know
MIPS but you've probably built the kernel wrongly or for
the wrong board.
