[Coco] strange nitros9 boot error code, very quickly after loading the boot track I get a tb*v, error 246 not ready

[Bruce W. Calkins]

I'm a little late chiming in on this, and my system is an old RGB-DOS - OS-9 
setup so this comment might not be fully relevant.  I was in the storage 
shed on another mission and snagged my OS-9 hard drive recovery kit.  I 
thought I had a sheet there on the procedure to restore the hard drive, but 
it must be a text file on the floppy which I can't ATM access.  However one 
of the disks is labeled INSTALL - LINK.  This brings back the memory that 
the order that one backs up, installs and links the OS-9 boot "disk" 
matters.
