Ed,

I am going through the steps in my mind on how to try this here on my 512K CoCo 3.  Here are the steps:

1. Create a bootable disk with r0 and rammer in the bootfile
2. Boot into that disk, then type the following commands:
	- iniz /r0
	- format /r0
	- makdir /r0/CMDS
        - copy sysgo -w=/r0
        - copy CMDS/shell -w=/r0/CMDS
        - copy CMDS/grftdrv -w=/r0/CMDS

3. Use DED and modify the bootfile on the floppy disk to rename the existing DD descriptor to DX, and rename R0 to be DD
4. Hit the reset button.

Are your steps similar?
