Bill,
Either you know how to access floppy drives from OS-9 or you don't. 
DriveWire does not change anything. For example, if you want a directory 
of a floppy use the dir command.
dir /d0
dir /d1
dir /d2
dir /d3               if that descriptor is in your OS9Boot file

If the above don't work for you, then there is something wrong with the 
boot disk you are using.
