Mike:

	When you boot the NitrOS-9 disk, what appears on the screen?? You should see 
the "NitrOS-9 Boot" in the center of the screen and if you are using a 40 or 80 
column /term, a bunch of debug data.

	Attached you'll find a copy of my article from the Coco123 (Glenside 
Newsletter) describing that the boot process is doing as each part of the debug 
data appears. It has always (for me) shown what part of the process is going 
into the weeds.
