[Coco] NitrOS-9 newbie needs some help (More data)

[Paul T. Barton]

Boisy,

I had format errors while having
krnp3 & krnp4 loaded. Unloading krnp4
and keeping krnp3 solved my
formatting problems.

It would start format, run about halfway
through a disk then just stop. Frozen.
Never got to the counting phase.
Required a reboot.

System: 6309, n09-l2-6309-v323, 2mb ram.

Oh, by the way, Thanks for the new FORMAT.
Now I can format 1GB drives and use the
whole thing!.

Thanks Again,

Paul
