My main thinking was the best place to save a boot is to save it on paper.I
recall looking at mine to see how the flag worked.( not mass storage yet so
needed a serial loader ).

If you still have a working machine, why not disassemble the boot
ROMs. They are only a few instructions long.
Making a listing for the 21MX makes it easy to check them from the front
panel.
As I recall, in the boot sequence, it transfers the ROMs to ram and then
executes it.
