[Coco] I've got DriveWire 4 installed

[Bill Pierce]

Robert, first, Wayne's not running from a split DECB/OS9 vhd, there is no disk partitions. 2nd, I think he's trying to go through all the steps of building a new system as a "relearning" experience.
I had already offered the Starter Kit, but he insisted on doing this manually... so... let's start by building the repo :-)

Wayne,I think you and Bill are getting off track if all you want are the required modules to build your own boot disks. :)If you mount both of Bill's pre made disks, the DW-X0 on Drivewire and the VCC-H0 on VCC, you can easily get all the files you need.The "boot track" is T34 on drive255 of the VCC hard drive. All you should need to create new boot disks would be to copy (using DSKI$/DSKO$)that T34 to a new floppy or .vhd drive for the VCC. The OS9Boot file is the only OS-9 file on the DW-X0.vhd and you can easily extract the H0 and EmuDsk from that OS9Boot file using the sep command.If you want the compiled boot_vhd to add to a NITROS9 sub-directory so that you can modify your mb. script and .bl bootlist script, most of us can send you that.Do you really want to compile the complete NitrOS-9 project or do you just want the few critical files to create new Becker boot disks?Robert-- Coco mailing listCoco at maltedmedia.comhttps://pairlist5.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/coco
