That is because none of the disks at http://nitros9.sourceforge.net/latest/ are
designed to boot from a .vhd image. Also the command will only work if you are
running RGBDOS and currently on a .vhd image with the Disk Basic partition
formatted and containing a boot disk.
If you want to update the version of NitrOS-9 on your .vhd image, you will need
to generate a new 35-track single sided floppy image with an appropriate Boot
module (for .vhd usage) and new OS9Boot file. That disk will need to be backed
up to a convenient "Basic drive" on the .vhd and all files on the downloaded
floppy will need to be transferred into appropriate directories in the NitrOS-9
portion of the .vhd image.
