*** Registers
GR0 *always zero
GR1 scratch
GR2 normal return register
GR27 Global Data Pointer (Must be set in crt0)
GR30 SP stack pointer
GR31 milicode return pointer
SR* Space registers
CR24-31 Temporary Control Registers
CR14 Vector Table Register (like VBR on an m68020)
CR0 Put in a count, causes exception when decremented to 0.
FORTH's magic number is 031240

Series 700/800
The following options are also supported:
-snnn set the initial system load (ISL) start address to
nnn in the volume label. This is useful when
building boot media for Series 700/800 systems.
-lnnn specifies the length in bytes of the ISL code in
the LIF volume.
-ennn set the ISL entry point to nnn bytes from the
beginning of the ISL. For example, specifying -
e3272 means that the ISL entry point is 3272
(decimal) bytes from the beginning of the ISL
object module.
-Knnn forces the directory start location to be the
nearest multiple of nnn x 1024 bytes from the
beginning of the volume. This is necessary for
booting Series 700/800 systems from LIF media.
-n xxx Sets the volume name to be xxx.
lifinit -v64000000 -d64 -nISL10 -K2 -s4096 -l61440 -e5336 this_lif
# lifcp --
# -r Forces RAW mode copying. (file type BIN (-23951))
# -T Sets the file type of the directory entry.
# -Knnn forces each file copied in to begin on a nnn x
# 1024-byte boundary from the beginning of the volume
# Note: the word echoed below MUST be 10 characters exactly.
#
(echo "FORTH ") | lifcp -r -T-030001 -K2 - this_lif:AUTO
#
# somxtract infile outfile --
# converts a series 800 file *only* into a raw image
It turns out the native cc and our current gcc produce series 700
output, so in this case it runs till if fills up the hard disk.

*** The ISL is only needed when booting the raw hardware. As we're runing
on a monitor (barely) all we need is a crt0 that initiallizes the GR27
Global Data Pointer and zero's bss.
