Luis,

Even that is flexible. You can have your boot disk on any of the 256 drives, at 
your convenience. There is no reason why it must be on drive# 255.

The only drive that probably should not be used for the OS-9 boot disk is drive# 
0, as that would prevent you from taking advantage of the automatic running of 
AUTOEXEC.BAS on drive #0.

To prevent confusion about what is on any of your drives, you should label them 
so that DIR lists the subject of the drive. This is explained in my 
documentation and is also mentioned in the HDBDOS docs on Cloud-9.
In fact, since you need to use LINK.BAS to indicate which drive is the boot 
drive and LINK names the drive as "OS-9 Hard Disk Boot", you will at least know 
the contents of that drive by using DIR.
