Steven,
The VCC site seems to be down so I can't check the .vhd disk supplied on the
site. There is probably something wrong in the documentation as to the location
of the boot disk.
I suggest that you do a DIR250TO255 and see what results. You should either get
a message on one of these directories that it is an OS-9 boot or will get a
scrambled directory typical of an OS-9 disk.
Once found just try DOS# where # is the disk you found.
