[Coco] Booting NitrOS9 from Drive 1

[Fred D. Provoncha]

Hello everyone,

Here's a pretty simple question that I'm sure several of you may be able 
to answer. What do I need to do to get configure a boot disk so that it 
will successfully boot NitrOS9 from Drive 1 of a 2-drive Coco system? I 
can create boot disks that boot from Drive 0 but none of them of course 
can boot when put into Drive 1. I type in DOS1, Drive 1's light comes on 
for a second, goes out, and then Drive0's light comes on and waits for 
me to insert a boot disk into Drive 0.

I think I have it narrowed down to the boot module that is installed on 
the boot track during the process of creating the boot disk. The boot 
module I'm using is boot_1773_6ms, which comes with the standard NitrOS9 
distribution. It looks like that module is configured to search for the 
OS9Boot file in Drive 0. How do I change that?
