I think I have a fix for this... please remind me to send it to you
tomorrow... (i.e. if you don't have it by 2pm your time, send me
some mail, pestering me :-)

Well, it would help if the boot program disabled interrupts below level
11 (11 and higher are needed if you want to L1-A during boot). I
sent pk a patch for this eons ago, and he committed it, I thought.
I needed that to boot my SS10 from floppy. They may have slipped though
the cracks, tho... I'll search through my source archives.
