Ok, the mystery deepens. I created a copy of my working boot floppy with
the hard drive driver and /h0 on it to mess around with. I did the
following:
Stripped cc3go out of os9boot and put it in the root of the floppy.
Works perfectly.
Used ded to change the /d0 reference in init to /dd (d0 and dd are both
working descriptors to the floppy). All modules in os9boot ident
correctly. Fails boot!
Ded'd init back to /d0, fails boot again!
I get the feeling I'm missing something simple here. I know both dd and
d0 work to the same drive, init shows the d0 to dd change, init idents
correctly, hmmmmmm.
