[Coco] NitrOS-9 boot from floppy issue

I can IDENT the OS9Boot file….everything is good.  It shows DD is there.  The bootlist contains ../MODULES/RBF/ddd0_40d.dd and ../MODULES/RBF/d0_40d.dd

This is ver030209.  From what I understand from some posts there were issues with some of the drivers being wrong…maybe that is the problem.

It is getting all the way through the boot process to the i2xoC.  The C means it should be loading the sysgo file.  Usually if the /DD descriptor is wrong, you won't get the C you will get and *X.  It gets the C just never goes to the next step to turn the window green and start the shell.

Thanks,

Philip
