I've made a BIOS that seems to work and that fits in less than 2K.

The thing I can't seem to do is find all the parts to make up a boot
image to let me use a CP/M-68K C compiler to compile the sources to
the parts I need to make a boot image.

It seems to expect to run in RAM, I/O is abstracted through system
calls using TRAP #3

It does.
