[Coco] I should know better

[Lothan]

I think you're right regarding the modules in ROM, but I never got beyond 
putting OS9Boot in the ROM of one of Bruce Isted's hard drive controllers. I 
always kept the kernel and other modules in the bootable area of the hard 
drive to make it easier to update.
