With the NitrOS-9 repo.  When booting from the image and then using the
descriptors built into it.  /dd is /sd0 and /sd1 is the second image that
might/is mounted.
/d0 , /d1 , and /d2 are for the real floppy drive(s).  The real floppy
drive controller is always expected to be in SLOT 4 of the MPI.  The
CoCoSDC can be in really any other slot.  Though there are some exceptions
to this depending on what other devices you are trying to use.

For example the Deluxe RS-232 Pak the way the default drivers are written
it needs to be in SLOT 1.

Just some things you have to be aware of when dealing with the MPI slots
and drivers that try to talk to the SCS controlled addresses or MPI SLOT
IRQ checking.
