I guess the only "booting" (as in initialization) that would really be needed is to set the stack-pointer to an address above the memory that you will be using for your purposes.

More advanced "booting" might involve initializing the Special Function Registers (SFRs)- such as timer registers and Program Status Word (PSW)- to the values that your application requires.

You should also set all the general purpose register (A, B, R0-R1) contents to some default value (usually zero) simply to get rid of the random values that they may intitialize to.

Thing is, whatever booting is to take place, you have to program it yourself...Thus invalidating the need for a monitor.
