I test on L1 occasionally.  There was a thread here just recently where a
guy managed to get L1 up and running on a CoCo 2, but yes a majority
of people are running L2.

I just tested the latest nightly build of L1 on Coco2b with MESS
(v1.35) and it booted fine.  Are you using disks from
http://www.nitros9.org/latest/ ?
Maybe something has changed in MESS between 1.35 and 1.39.
