You also can't have your write data section in flash either (flash doesn't support writing a single byte or word at a time). If you want to avoid having the bootloader there, you can manually do the flash programming from the Nios II SDK shell and when you go to create the software flash file you do not specify the --boot command (watch the command lines in the IDE to see what the flash programmer is doing). But before doing that can you explain exactly where you want to boot from, and where you have located your code (text, rodata, rwdata). Also are you using a reference design or is this a system you made yourself?
