Here's the site about it:

https://sites.google.com/site/cocoboot2/ya-dos

The readme.txt file inside of the zip files available for download contains 
a pretty extensive description of YA-DOS and all the nice features it adds 
for drivewire and cocosdc support and partitioning.

I installed it in one of the flash banks of my cocosdc. I haven't played 
around with it much yet as I tend to turn on the CoCo and type DOS.
But it seems to be pretty darn awesome.

YA-DOS, CoCo-Boot and MShell are looking like the best candidates for 
creating a really great CoCo interface from boot all the way through to a 
user-friendly GUI for NitrOS-9. At least in my opinion.
