[Coco] NitrOS9 and B&B XT-RTC

[Mark Marlette]

Bob,

Could be a bit of a misunderstanding, but in any case use the scripts, learn from them, then build by hand if you would like. Any error means something has changed since it shipped as the system was built with those scripts.

Regards,

Mark

Mark,
you may have misunderstood. I'm the one who is trying to rebuild the boot 
file, since he admits himself to be ignorant of the procedure. I have 
*always* handbuilt my OS9Boot files, and 90% of the time they worked.

The original problem in this case was that accessing the CDROM drive locked 
him out of /DD.

I went inot this in an effort to help a newbie who, surprise! lives in the 
same town as I do. I started off with exactly zero information; that's why 
I'm asking qustions from people who know.
