.SET SYS INIT

That causes OS/8 to execute INIT.CM on boot. That'll work fine for you UNTIL you try to use BUILD to add drivers to OS/8. The normal way to do that is to "RUN SYS BUILD", insert and enable drivers, then "BOOT". You then "SAVE SYS BUILD" to update BUILD.SV to correspond to the new system, but if you have INIT.CM enabled, before you can SAVE that new copy of BUILD, it's overwritten in memory by the INIT.CM processing. Oops.
So, I usually turn that off.
