[Coco] NitrOS-9 V03.02.01 Release

[Frederick D Provoncha]

Boisy,

It was really a pleasure to finally meet you at the CocoFest. I had a
great time. Thanks for all your hard work and advice.

I'm trying to install the latest version of NitrOS9 on my hard drive, so
far with no luck. I successfully downloaded and unzipped all three
distribution disks, and it appears that I was able to successfully
transfer them to 5 1/4" and 3 /12" disks using the latest version of
dskini.exe without any errors. But when I try to boot using disk 1 or
read the other two disks however, I have problems:

1) nos96309l2v030201_ds40_1.dsk:

When I attempt to boot using this disk, this is what appears on the
screen:
KREL Boot Kernel
tb........................................................bKernelP2
KernelP2 CC3Disk CC3Disk JoyDrv SndDrv WindInt Term W W1 W2 W3 W4 W5 W6
W7 PipeMan To1 t*j

and then I get the NITROS9 BOOT FAILED message.

2) nos96309l2v030201_ds40_2.dsk:

When I attempt to read this disk I get an infinite succession of nested
NITROS9 and 6309L2 directories with nothing in them. Really strange.
Nothing else is on the disk. No modules, nothing.

3) nos96309l2v030201_ds80.dsk:

I cannot boot from or read this disk. I get an Error 249 - Wrong Type.

So have you seen anything like this? I'm not doing anything strange. I
followed the instructions for transferring the disk images just as they
appear on www.nitros9.org website. Any ideas what I should do?
