[Coco] [Color Computer] Nitros9 Boot file

[Jim Hickle]

Good idea. Though my problem is that usually the new boot from os9gen doesn't work.

easy way to create boot lists.
What I do is to use dynastar to edit a copy of the boot list so it 
includes all of the modules I have (from OS-9 level1 ver 2.00.00 to 
the current version of NitrOS9) and just comment out the inactive 
ones. Then use os9gen to create a boot file on floppy to test with. 
Once I have a stable bootfile, I un-comment additional modules untill 
I get the result I'm looking for.
