Auto Boot

All,

I have written a short boot loader for the C64 ROM. I placed it in the 
unused area at $BF53 (48979) in the BASIC ROM (It just fit).

00BF53  1  A2 00                LDX     #$00
00BF55  1               BOOTLOOP:
00BF55  1  BD 64 BF             LDA     BOOTTEXT,X      ; GET NEXT BOOT 
TEXT BYTE
00BF58  1  F0 07                BEQ     BOOT_OUT        ; DONE IF ZERO
00BF5A  1  9D 77 02             STA     KEYBUF,X        ; PUT IT IN THE 
KEYBOARD BUFFER
00BF5D  1  E8                   INX                     ; POINT X TO 
NEXT BYTE IN BOOT TEXT
00BF5E  1  4C 55 BF             JMP     BOOTLOOP        ; REPEAT THE LOOP
00BF61  1               BOOT_OUT:
00BF61  1  86 C6                STX     KEYCNT          ; SAVE THE BYTE 
COUNT
00BF63  1  60                   RTS                     ; RETURN TO CALLER
00BF64  1  4C CF 22 2D  BOOTTEXT:   .BYTE   "L", 'O'+$80, '"', "-", '"', 
",8", $0D, "R", 'U'+$80, $0D, $00

I recompiled it and tested if with VICE emulator. It works if I type the 
command 'sys 48979'.

I would like to have the computer RESET ROUTINE call it a power on, not 
the warm start.

Any suggestions how to wedge it into the startup?
