The A26x0 control register, as I've explained in detail here before, allows
these ROMs to be banked in at 0 or at $00f8xxxx.  The proper action is for 
the A26x0 ROMs to be shut off before AmigaOS is started, in both locations.
If that's not what's happening, that's a bug, and I suspect the latest set of
A26x0 ROMs already fix this.  It hasn't been much of an issue yet, since most
of the machines in the world use 1.3, which of course starts at $00fc0000, and
of those running 2.0, most A26x0 are using KickIt, MMUKick, SetCPU, etc. and
also not colliding with this ROM, assuming its still there.  Whatever the 
setup, by the time you're running AmigaOS, you're locked into that setup.
