[Coco] NitrOS9 question

[Aaron Wolfe]

We ran into the same issue when creating the headless Drivewire disks some
years ago.  If the boot file became too small, things went badly.

Unfortunately Boisy solved this in our case so I can't give you specifics.
Not sure if he still monitors this list, fairly sure he intended to patch
the nitros9 source to correct the bug. Perhaps the fix got lost or was not
comprehensive.  In any case, I can confirm a third case where small boot
file became an issue in itself.

In my mc09 l2 development I found a bug where a too - small bootfile would
hang. Padding it fixed the problem. I will look out the details over the
weekend and let you know, so we can see if our experiences tally. It would
be good to know that it was a generic problem and not specific to my target
hardware. I spent quite a lot of time in emulation trying to track it down
without success

Haha!  That doesn't work either.  But as soon as I re-assemble Term with
265 extra bytes in it, it boots just fine.  So it really does appear to be
an issue with size and not order.
