The issue is that table is not in the section .bootloader, 
but is automatically put into the .progmem.data section. If 
I understand it correctly, the OP wants to put the data in 
a seperate section in program memory and then relocate that 
section (to any address). Correct me if I'm wrong, but the 
__progmem__ attribute (specified with the prog_char 
typedef) does not allow arbitrary section names.
