Hello Peter. If the only problem is with the 'dd' device, try not to include it
in the bootfile, and create one for the rimfire-board using the '/h0' or '/h1'
or whatever the device-name is for the rimfire-device. The 'dd'-device is
normally just another name for the 'device' yuo use as 'default device'. You
can always 'load' the desired 'dd'-device (from startup) or command-line. If
your system can make access to the rimfire without the 'dd'-device loaded, then
just copy that file to dd.rimfire and use moded to chenge the name to 'dd'. If
you also are having problems with no 'dd' loaded, then you probably have loeded
two different device-descriptors with the same module-name. use 'mdir' to
confirm that the device use want is loaded. Then use 'ident' on the file you
loads as the device-descriptor to access the rimfire-drive and use ident (with
'-m' flag) to check that the 'crc' is the same. If not, then you don't(sorry :
the system does not) make access to the device you want. Does you get any
error-messages ?? Try also to use the 'dump'-command wtih the '-m' flag to show
the device-descriptor in memory. Yuo should be able to see the
filemanager-name(RBF) and the device-name and driver-name.
