To be a bit more specific, the PIC will write to nv (non-volatile for long term storage) memory to identify which rom is active. Furthermore, the chip has been programmed specifically with this in mind with anti-wear, so that you are not re-writing the same bit each kickstart swap but rather go through the memory bits eventually wrapping around at the start again.
Hope that answers your questions Mick.
