Shortly after the minimalist DIR command to meet First Boot requirements,
we expanded to what follows below. This is probably it for show-and-tell
for a while, things like taking crash dumps and reading them with SDA,
conversational boot, loading the rest of the images, running in user mode,
taking device interrupts, switching to the real system disk, just to name
a few, are all on the immediate to-do list.
