[Coco] Cobbler and ERROR 244 on CoCoSDC

[Bob Devries]

I set the dmode of /dd to:

cyl=0400 sid=01 spt=0012 t0s=0012

This still makes the same number of sectors on the disk.
It also makes the disk *look* like a standard disk to DECB, albeit larger.

A LBA accessed disk image can certainly be bootable. That's what 
"nos96309l2v030300coco3_cocosdc.dsk" is all about. From the CocoSDC 
docs, anything over 2880 sectors is treated as an LBA disk.
