Sorry - I am really getting some things confused. That's what I get for
answering while working on something else :-)

The above description of the CHRP script is how the BootX bootloader for
OS X works. There are some Forth commands in the boot script that look
ahead in the file until it finds the xcoff bootloader embedded in BootX.

Init-program does need to be able to recognize the CHRP script, though.
