Everything went smashingly well!  Did a make clean, make, make dsk. 
Mounted the image with cocofuse, copied my hard disk drivers in the RBF 
directory and modified the standard.bl file accordingly.  Remounted the 
image in the DW3 server (C version) and booted the CoCo from it.  Ran the 
mb.floppy script to create a boot diskette with hard disk support and 
rebooted from that.  It came up on the hard disk without incident and can 
access the drivewire volumes.

Thanks for your attention to this!  Will let you know if I spot anything 
funny, but I think you've got it now.

Steve
