Alrighty, thanks Bob.  I too have reserved a "special" area on the hard
disk for the boot "track" which will require a similar specialized
program to write the kernelp1/boot/rel there, so I'm not surprised.

OS9Gen seems to do the right thing, though, w/r/t creating the boot
file, but it seems to try to write the boot track as well, which is
problematic.  May have to add a flag to it to stop it.
