	In contrast with the other boot programs, this one did not properly
determine whether the program being booted had a header which it should skip.
This change fixes that problem:

	diff kernel/mdec/rlboot.s.old kernel/mdec/rlboot.s
	35,37c35,37
	< /	cmp	(r0),$407
	< /	bne	1f
	< /	mov	$20,r0
	---
	> 	cmp	(r0),$407
	> 	bne	1f
	> 	mov	$20,r0

It should be applied to all tapes written before 11/3/81.  Be sure to strip
the resultant object file AND remove its header before installing it in your
boot block.  Otherwise it will be too large to fit in 512 bytes.
