Ok, we're straying way the heck off track here :). Lemme lay this out again:
What I have to work with:
A working hard drive and SCSI controller with no support for booting
directly from the hard drive.
A working OS9 boot floppy with /dd and /d0 as the floppy and /h0 as the
hard drive.
All the standard disk manipulation tools (ezgen/etc, ded)
The goal:
Boot from floppy and finish with the hard drive as /dd, the working
directory set to /dd, and the execution directory set to /dd/cmds.
I will not/can not:
Rewrite BOOT or any other module (I can patch where required, not a
programmer).
Buy an RS-BASIC replacement.
How do I get there from here? :)
