[Coco] partial OS9 boot from hard drive (back on topic)

[jdaggett at gate.net]

Pardon my asking as I have kind of sat by and watched all this go 
by as an interested obsever.

Looking at the bootlist, would you not need a CC3HDISK driver and 
device descriptors loaded at bootup to be able to access a hard disk 
on boot? 

May be I don't see it because it is incorporated in another driver?
