Hi again.

This didn't work for me.
I made a boot disk that included the bbfhdisk.dr and h0.dd for my harddrive.
Of course it didnt work cause it needs to be patched as you said. So, I
copied debug,cobbler and ded to the cmds directory of the new boot disk. I
then booted the disk and started to do what you described. I got an error on
the cobbler /d0 step. Cobbler gave me an error about it being fragmented.

Looks like I'll have to wait for the next release of Nitros9, unless there
is a way around that.
