[Coco] NitrOS9 question

[Dave Philipsen]

But if I simply add VTIO back into the bootfile everything works and I 
get a shell on T2.  Doesn't make sense to me since T2 is attached to 
SC6551 not VTIO.  And I *do* get the sign-on banners on T2 which means 
that it seems to be working correctly as a device.  Just no shell.
