OK, this is still a drive configuration problem. Since you are limited
to two drives and the boot disk creation process with the 40 track
distribution disks works best with a three drive system, you will need
to take preparatory measures.
The CMDS directory on disk 40d_2 does not contain all the programs
needed during boot disk creation. You will need copy, format, and os9gen
none of which are on disk 40d_2. Copy is already loaded into memory.
Format and os9gen must either be loaded into memory before running the
scripts or must be copied over to the 40d_2 CMDS directory.
Once the above is done, boot disk creation will work. If the needed
files are preloaded into memory, CHX should not be needed. If the files
are copied to disk 40d_2, then the CHX is needed, will work, and the
scripts will run to completion.
