Lots of questions with no easy answers. First you need a DOS that can 
access a .vhd disk. Then depending on the DOS you may be able to place a 
boot track on the .vhd disk and boot into OS-9 from the .vhd disk. That 
will require an OS-9 Boot and hdisk driver that can read the .vhd disk.

All of these things must be coordinated for best results. Your second 
questions about os9gen and kwikgen can't be answered without your 
decision of a Disk Basic Dos.

There is one possibility on my web site. http://home.att.net/~robert.gault/
Look for RGBDOS in the downloads section.
