Well...yes I did the obvious . But to make sure I'll check again.

First off, I have the file OS9BOOT on HD0. To make sure it is okay I just did
an ident. All is okay.

Next, I fired up DED and examined LSN0. At $15 it shows $01 $24 $9c. So, the
boot is registered. I not that the size of the bootfile is listed as 00 00.
But, that is true on the floppy too...so I assume that the size is ignored.
Hmmm, it'd have to be since the boot is 108K and there are only 2 bytes for the
size.

A dir -e shows that the the 'sector' for os9boot is 1249c. So, things appear
okay in this department.

BTW, when attempting to boot the drive light for HD0 does not show any
activity. Also, it makes no difference if this is a cold boot or if I just hit
RESET. I've left it for a few minutes thinking that maybe it is waiting for the
drive to come up to speed, but no difference.

So, what do I test next?
