FWIW, these are the files on said FAT partition (from the Debian 6.0.4 image for the Pi):
root at kg-v7# ls /mnt
arm128_start.elf boot_enable_ssh.rc issue.txt loader.bin
arm192_start.elf bootcode.bin kernel.img start.elf
arm224_start.elf cmdline.txt kernel_emergency.img
I don't know if start.elf, bootcode.bin or loader.bin is the actual "first stage" loader.
start.elf is just a copy of one of the armXXX_start.elf files; this sets up how much
memory (of the 256 MB) for the CPU and how much for the GPU.
