@lempkee:
When reading your answer I realise that my question was quite unprecise, aiming just about everywhere

.
What I am curious about are things like these:
At startup, the 68k-processor first loads its supervisor stack pointer from address 0x00000000, then its program counter from address 0x00000004, and in this case, on an Amiga starts executing the exec kernel.
I guess a PowerPC processor is very eager to do something similar, but what happends in its case - does it have a ROM waiting for it with PowerPC code which initializes it with some appropriate interrupt-vectors etc?
I am also very curious about the details of how the 68k kernel(exec) processor communicates with the PowerPC kernel. Does it write something to a special area in memory and gives the PowerPC processor an interrupt making it read from that memory area or... I am full of questions
