Assuming what you have done worked correctly, the boot process will load 
the kernel from the disk in drive0, then load the OS9Boot file from /d0, 
and then expect shell and all other command files to be loaded from the 
tc3. That will require a tc3 driver to be in the OS9Boot file. I don't 
remember if you said you made that change.

It would help if you posted the information shown on the screen during 
the boot process. That is diagnostic and will indicate where the boot 
process failed.
