When prodos boots, it looks for the first file in the directory that is
of type SYS and the last 7 characters of the filename are .SYSTEM . 
Filenames also have a 15 character limit (including the .SYSTEM).
Thus, you would need to name it something like EXECTNER.SYSTEM.

Also, PRODOS is never named PRODOS.SYSTEM.  If you were to do this, it
would most likely find its self and rerun PRODOS infinately.
