[Coco] Osk and OS9gen

[Becker, Gary]

I do not know anything about OS9/68000, but this sound similar to the
OS9Gen issue I had with hard disk drives and NitrOS-9. I traced it down
to OS9Gen's 2K read buffer. If the Disk Allocation Bitmap is larger than
the buffer, weird things will happen. I modified OS9Gen to limit reading
the bitmap to 1536 bytes. This limits where the boot track is placed,
but that was not too much of a problem for me.

Hope this helps.

I'm trying to OS9gen a  boot file for the AT306's harddrive, so it will
boot
from the HD, and later my 4-gig CF.  The OS9gen works fine and prepares
a
boot file, up until the last step, then it gives me the error "Can't
close
/h0" and quites.  The boot file is called Tempboot and ident shows that
all
the modules in it are valid.  But its not linked as a bootfile.  I tried
OS9gen on both /h0 and /h0fmt.  Any thoughts?
