The main bit of the Master's OS ROM is stored at $c000-$ffff, you can just
*SAVE this as with any other ROM. As for the others you will need to save
them all; some of the ROMs (Terminal in particular) contain segments of
the OS which did not fit into the top 16K of memory. You can't use the
*SAVE command for this though; you should check out the *SRREAD command
which, if I remember correctly, will let you copy the ROM contents into
main memory for subsequent saving. 

I don't think there are any other things you need to do. The $c000-$ffff
area is 16K, the other 7 ROMs make up the remaining 112K (the Master's
built in ROMs are 128K in total).

All that is from memory so there may be errors...
