Manny,

Well for one thing, there should only be one clock2 module in your OS9Boot file 
and your .png shows two clock2 modules.

The failure at or between "trying to open default device from Init" and "trying 
to fork Sysgo".

Before you do anything else eliminate from your standard.bl file the extra 
clock2. Then post another .png.
