7D initial steps

Through trial and error, I've determined that the firmware signature word is 0x80000250 for the Canon 7D.  This allows the firmware to begin loading, but it errors out with:
Code: [Select]
Update file error.
Please check the memory
card and relad the
battery and try again.
Autoexec.bin is not run (but now Magic Lantern can autoboot the 5D), so I can't use that approach to get code running.

(Sorry for the double post earlier)

If I leave the header offset (0x28 in the firmware file) as 0x120 instead of changing it to 0x110 on the 5D, I get the exact same orange box error message.  Unfortunately I have no recollection of why my assemble_fw script changes that offset.  Does anyone know what purpose it serves to adjust this value?
