1. Please don't top post, position your reply under the question asked so 
that it reads like a normal conversation, from top to bottom.  That is many 
times easier for following the conversation.  Then, because we're all out 
of sync now, I'll trim the rest of this.

2. If it found and loaded and ran the boottrack from track 34, it should 
have at least printed the "KREL boot" string.  Since it did not, and to 
refresh my thinking, the next question is:  Were you booting from a floppy 
in drive0?

If yes, you should be able to watch the mb script as it runs and see if it 
reported any errors, so would you please re-run that and double check that 
there were no module not found errors as it runs?  Your renaming may have 
made an error 216 out of something.

Another item I have found to be handy is to move the 'del bttrack' or 
whatever its called in the mb script to a point above where the 'merge' 
command builds it, so that when the script is done, the boottrack will be 
left and inspectable by some of the tools available to os9/nitros9 if you 
do have a working all floppy boot.  I am thinking of my 'vfy' command in 
particular as it reports the true internal name of the module it is 
scanning in a multimodule file, which both the boottrack and os9boot files 
are.
