One last bug in the standalone rlboot

   We recently found one last bug in the boot program for RL's.
If the file that was supposed to be booted from the boot program
was not in the first directory block, it would stop before getting
any subsequent directory blocks. Below is a complete diff listing
of all the bugs:

       diff rlboot.s.old rlboot.s


20d19
       mov     $20,r0          / This assumes you DON'T strip off the 16-byte header
> /     clr     r0              / This assumes you strip off the 16-byte header
92d91
       mov     $WC,(r1)        /wc into rlmp
