Boisy,

I'm not building the modules at all.  I'm using the ones in the RBF 
directory of the Cloud9 6809l2 boot image.  I actually was not able to 
find the sources for the dw drivers - where are they?

Can you elaborate on what 'dw3.sb' actually is?  I'm not used to seeing 
that extra layer of device driver.  If I'm inferring correctly, you need:

rbdw3.dr
dw3.sb
ddx0.dd
etc, etc

is that correct?

This morning I had partial success using the build script on the Cloud9 
image.  If I have dw support as:

rbdw3.dr
dw3.sb
ddx0.dd
x1.dd
x2.dd
x3.dd

followed by my hard disk drivers:

hdisk.dr
h0.dd
h1.dd

I get a working system that boots from a floppy diskette and logs to dw 
drive 0 as the home disk (/dd).  I do have working access to the hard 
drive, so this is a big step in right direction.

HOWEVER, if I replace ddx0.dd with x0.dd and h0.dd with ddh0.dd in an 
attempt at making my first hard drive volume the home disk, I get no 
drivewire connectivity.  It logs to the hard disk, but attempts at 
accessing /x0 get me an ERROR #235 (and, yes, the diskette image IS 
mounted in the server).  The server shows no indication that any 
communication is taking place.

Am I doing something obviously wrong?

Steve
