[Coco] NitrOS9 question

Dave,

I have not tried NitrOS-9 L2 as a headless configuration yet.  Looking at
the headless section in the build process for the NitrOS-9 Project.  I
don't see the keyboard, joy, or snd driver in the headless area so that is
a good sign.  I do see a scdwv.dr and term_scdwv.dt which tells me that you
probably can use the term_sc6551.dt and sc6551.dr.

I myself can not verify this as my CoCo3FPGA is not in working condition
right now.  As soon as I get my Analog board back I will certainly try some
of this out.
