[Coco] cobbler and hard disks

[Bob Devries]

To the best of my knowledge, the stock COBBLER is not supposed to be used on 
a hard disk. It is in fact hard coded to write the boot loader/kernel to 
track 34 of the floppy.

Burke & Burke created a special programme for their hard disk adapter which 
created a kernel on track 128 of the hard disk, but I don't know of any 
others that allow this.
