I don't think there is a memory restriction on the size of the bootfile 
other than it must be smaller than $10000 bytes as the size in bytes 
must fit in regD. What are you trying to fit in your boot file that it 
is larger than $8000 bytes?

Level2 or higher can initiate the mouse from the Init file. If you want 
a high res mouse on boot, adjust the values in Init.
