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

[Robert Gault]

Perhaps you have overlooked that more than changing the name of /D0 to 
/DD is necessary when redirecting the boot process. Use dEd to examine 
the /D0 and stock /DD descriptors and you will see that the driver name 
is included in the descriptor and likely is cc3disk.

Does your current /DD descriptor call cc3disk or hdisk? You will need a 
descriptor which includes the correct driver name if you want your hard 
drive to function via /DD. Use /H0 (if that is your hard drive 
descriptor) as the model, make a copy, use dEd to change the name from 
H0 to DD, verify, and you should have better luck.
