I would recommend using the 65C02 ON directive in your assembly.

After you assemble the code use the MAKEBIN utility.

MAKEBIN [-P] loadfile [binfile] [org=val]
-P , supress copywrite info.
loadfile, what orca produced
binfile, name of bin to create
org=val,  if absent $2000 is the default

MAKEBIN  orcaout
would turn the orcaout load segment into a bin file assembled at $2000

MAKEBIN -P orcaout  /HD1/MYSTUFF/MYBIN  ORG=$1000

 MYBIN ASSEMBLED AT $1000 IS CREATED IN /HD1/MYSTUFF

FILETYPE orcaout SYS
The bin created in step 1 becomes a sys $ff file
