Re: Things I can do before MMU is turned on

I'm working in an environment where the MMU has yet not been enabled (And hence on PC relative addressing can be used - no absolute addresses).
 
Does it necessarily mean that u need to access data or text with relative addressing only ? I mean yes we have to address it relatively but its very architecture specific.
 
 let us say in x86 segments are defined to span the entire addressable memory then both the absolute and the relative become the same ... am i right ?
 
However  what i fail understand is why the question is being asked in context with the MMU being enabled or disabled !
