[Coco] Mounting CoCoSDC Disk Images in NitrOS-9

[Bob Devries]

Joel, you need to create a startup.cfg fie on the SD card. I use Windows 
notepad to do this. It looks like this:

0=NITROS9.DSK
1=OTHER.DSK

I started with just NITROS9.DSK which is a copy of the (only) cocosdc 
boot image in the NitrOS9 repo: nos96309l2v030300coco3_cocosdc.dsk
