FYI ... you don't need a separate boot disk. You can make the hard disk image bootable, but "cobbler" can't do it. I haven't written a utility to do it, but I did post the steps it takes to copy a boot file to the hard disk image and make OS-9 recognize it as a boot image.

You will find the steps a few articles in, but it's a good rambling background overview of how things work.
