[Coco] NitrOS9 booting sequence

[Salvador Garcia]

"Ok, so as everyone has probably figured out..."

Yup, and I really appreciate this. I am planning of building an FPGA CoCo3 soon to run NitrOS9. I have been postponing it for over a year now and 2015 does not look good for this project, but I hope to do this in 2016. 


While I want my FPGA CoCo to connect to Drivewire, I would also want it to work independently as a stand alone NitrOS9 work station.


So on closing, thank you for what you are doing. Salvador

Ok, so as everyone has probably figured out I am trying to make some

modifications to the REL, Boot, and Krn modules in order to get the 
CoCo3 FPGA
booting directly from the SD card without help from DW.  I'm 
also trying to
accomplish this with native tools under NitrOS9 instead 
of using the Toolshed
and Lwtools packages. So, today I was able to 
create a boottrack file and
svdgen a disk.  When I try to boot it the 
screen shows all of the modules
loaded through Clock2 and then at the 
end it prints  "i2xo*X" just before the
boot fails.  I'm guessing that 
something is still missing on the boot disk.  I
have an OS9Boot file, a 
sysgo file, and a CMDS directory with just "shell" in
it.  What am I 
missing in order to complete the boot?
