But if you do present a vector then everything should work, right?
The problem isn't in the standalone 'ra' driver though - that seems
to be working. The boot block though ends up in an endless loop
during the 'online the unit' command (after the initialization).

True. I'd have to look at the mdec/rauboot.s sources to see
exactly what it is doing (or not doing ;)). The change Tim Shoppa
made was to specify a vector and that did the trick for the Viking
