After a bit of grief writing the images under Linux, I was able to boot a 
DSDD NitrOS-9 image :-).

Next question:  What environment is the NitrOS-9 source intended to be 
built under?  The makefile calls an executable called simply 'os9' all 
over the place and references a cross-assembler called 'mamou' (?).

Perhaps it's there somewhere, but I could not locate anything specific 
about the build tools.

I need to setup for this since the B&B disk drivers are apparently only 
provided in source form.
