-Note: When you start up sdltrs for the first time, it attempts to boot
-from floppy disk. If you didn't give "-disk0 /path/to/image.dsk"
-on the command line (or if you launched it from your desktop's
-application menu), it will "hang" with a black screen. Press Alt+D to
-enter the emulator's disk menu and either select a bootable floppy
-image or disable the floppy disk controller, or else run sdltrs
-with the -nofloppy option. See the man page and the documentation at
