[Coco] Linux RBF filesystem support

All,

Perhaps everyone running Linux already knows about this, but I thought I'd 
mention:

http://www.osadl.org/RBF-File-System.rbf-file-system.0.html

Even if you have a newer kernel, grab both source tarballs since all the 
documentation is in the older one.

After build,

$ modprobe rbf

Then, OS-9 diskette images can be mounted as:

$ mount -t rbf -o loop,sector=256,nomagic some_disk.dsk /mnt

Use whatever mount point is appropriate for your system.  Seems to support 
read and write without problems.
