It's a bit more complex than that AFAICR. You can use *SRSAVE I think,
or you can write a little program to do it which basically opens a file
for output, pokes the currently selected ROM number into an address, and
then reads 8000 -> BFFF and outputs it via BPUT.

I can't remember the address, but that's roughly what you need to do. If
you *SAVE from 8000+4000 then it'll grab the filing system ROM since
that'll be what's selected when you do the *SAVE operation
(DFS/NFS/ADFS, etc.)
