[Coco] ROMPak transfer to disk with cart2ram?

I'm trying to use Robert Gault's cart2ram webpage and his transfer
program to copy my Slay the Nerius ROMpak to disk.  I have a CoCo 3
and an MPI.

Transfer ran, and saved transfer.bin.  So, I do a hard reset, (hello,
3 muggateers!) loadm"transfer"
  wait for the drive to stop spinning
  exec
  reset
  savem"slay",&h3000,&h6fff,&h3000

Do another hard reset, and loadm"slay"
When I exec, I get an FS error.

What am I doing wrong?

I have to do a reset after running transfer.  If I don't, the disk
drive won't turn on, and any disk I/O returns an I/O error.

Also, long ago Neil Morrison posted a list of patches for rompaks,
including Slay the Nerius.  For Slay the Nerius, the patches are at
&h5124 and &h5125.  I assume that this is accurate when the ROMpak has
been moved to &h3000?
