[Coco] NitrOS-9 on a 128k Coco-3

[Kandur]

Thanks for the link Bill and many thanks to all who helped.
I've got 'nos96809l2v030300coco3_80d.dsk' up and running on my 128k Coco-3.
It came up with a very dark green background with black letters, hardly legible.
Edited the startup file, changed the display to white background with black letters.
It looks great, but after every new boot I have to run '/DD/startup' manually, despite it's attributes are set to e and pe. It seems the startup file is ignored at boot. Help please!
I'm feverishly studying the 'OS-9 Level II and the Tandy Color Computer 3' excellent tutorial by Rodger Alexander. Oh boy, I forgot almost everything, and worse then that, 
I'm mixing up the os-9 and linux commands. (:
While I have your ears, can someone tell me, what fd descriptor do I need for my 5.25" drives, to read 160 track diskettes? Yes, my os-9 backups are on DS, 80track on each side, 5.25" floppies.
In general, is there a good place to find fd and hd descriptor samples, tutorials somewhere?
