[Coco] NitrOS-9 beginner

Yes, you got it.

The image to use would be

nos96809l2v030300coco3_dw.dsk

I do believe you will have to issue a drive command or select HDBDOS 
Translation under the Tools menu of Drivewire. Someone knowledgeable on 
HDB-DOS will have to comment on that. Or since you already use HDB-DOS you 
probably already know how to do that.

After you boot in to NitrOS-9 you can easily create boot disks in your 
floppy.

But I've tossed a 35-track boot disk for you on drop box in case you need 
it.
