Refer to the make/custom/mcp750.cfg for some "advice".  There 
mvme2307.cfg file was not updated to reflect the way to build
a downloadable image in a manner that would work both before
and after the RTEMS install.

The basic idea is that you need a binary image with the bootloader
and a zipped image of the executable.  The mcp750.cfg make-exe
rule is the one to use as a baseline.

[Remember the mcp750 and mvme230x use the same motorola_shared
BSP so the same procedure applies.]

As an aside, the current .exe is probably in elf and is being
loaded raw into your PPC memory. That is the reason for the fault.
