Mod5270 - mode of execution after loading from bootloader

Hi
This is the first time I am using Mod5270. If I load a program into Mod5270 RAM/Flash, will it be run in user mode or supervisor mode? Specifically, does the boot-loader (the monitor) switch over to user mode before handling control to user program, or continue in supervisor mode? I will use the serial port to load user programs to mod5270.

Also, has anyone used Freebsd to communicate with Mod5270? I have GCC compiler for 68k/coldifire setup on my freebsd desktop, and would like to load programs to 5270 from this system.

thanks,
Sreenath

You are always in supervisor mode, no switch is made at boot time.
