[Coco] Creating a Nitros9 custom boot disk (Was :Why DECB is important to OS-9 folk.)

[Diego Barizo]

I created my boot disk last night, and if not because one of the files 
in my modules disk was corrupted (Probably from the download of the 
disk) it was quite an easy task
You just have to look trough a text file, uncomment the lines that match 
your setup, and then run a file. Took me about 15 minutes.
The only limitation could be that it needs 2 floppy drives..
I could even edit the file for anybody who wants and easily explain how 
to get your new disk in a few minutes.
