How are you currently handling the NIOS code? Just do the same thing, but with a different address.

If you're doing this with a .JIC file, just create another .hex file with your "init data" in it, and add another section to your .JIC configuration.

If you're not doing this with a .JIC file, the instructions are roughly the same: just do whatever you're doing with the NIOS firmware, but at a different address.
