If you are loading modules manually they are each assigned a block of 
memory.  IIRCC; you will need to merge your modules into a block.  The 
normal boot disk creation program does this automatically.  It has been far 
to long since I have created a OS-9/NitrOS-9 boot disk, so the details are 
foggy ATM.
