Not anymore!! :-( I don't understand why. I write protected the disk before
I started to muck around with it and it still managed to get munged.

Can I use the load command to "load" the modules? Otherwise I'm going
to have to try and figure out how to build a new kernel with the proper
modules and then get it on the boot partition..

I've got that. I bought another CF card one will be for the 6809 nitros9
and the other for the 6309 nitros9.

As memory serves the "emergency" boot floppy that I have was built using that
script. It does little more the try to bring up what's on the CF card. I took a
look and all it has on it is OS9boot. Can I copy that image to other floppies with
bad kernels? If so how do I get onto the boot sector. The documentation I have is
vague and since I can't access the CF card or the LS120 disk I can't look at the script
and see how it does it. Can you email me a copy of the script so I can create my
own OS9boot and copy it to the boot sector.
