Yeah, the ROM-able nitros boot loader will have to be replaced with
ya-dos.  But no worries: There's a decb loadable .bin file in the nitros9
repo that'll load up nitros too.  I think invoking 'make' just right will
pop out a .dsk file.  Just get that image copied over.  Yados can copy the
dsk from DW to the SD card.

Nitros has no partitioning.  That needs to change.  Maybe we can just hack
a offset into Gary's nitros drivers, and force nitros to skip a few sectors
to allow for a real partition table.
