It's odd, as if I do a *CAT all the filenames are ok, and I can see
from the console output that it loads eg. VProtect without error
before coming to a halt (if I leave !Boot in place), so everything is
generally working.

Good luck with that :)  I'd be surprised if it is an endian issue
causing this; I'd expect it to not boot or read from HostFS correctly
at all if it was.
