Mark, the boot loading isn't getting to the part where it loads the OS9Boot 
file at all. It quits before that.

Yes, I am using the scripts to create the disk, but I also tried it the "old 
fashioned" way, using os9gen and a file of boot module names.

If there's a bug in OS9Gen, then of course, neither way will work properly.

However, having said that,  I just tried to create an 80-track DS boot disk, 
and that boots fine. WHY?

I *know* I have in the past created a single-sided boot disk with DS 
descriptors so that I could migrate from singel-sided to double sided disks. 
NitrOS9 should still be able to do this.

I'm beginning to suspect that OS9Gen is cauing this problem. I'll see if I 
can get the newer version.
