Thanks :)

I'm not sure what you mean by that? The Fcode in the ISO does all of the 
loading, and the OpenBIOS ELF loader does the relocation when the Fcode 
calls init-program. If you try and boot from the Milax ISO under qemu, 
all you have to do is type "go" once you get returned to the Forth 
prompt to move the PC to the relocated image and start executing.


ATB,

Mark.
