[Coco] NitrOS9 Bootfile Dependacy Tree

[Bill Pierce]

Gene, in my BootMajik I'm supplying "pre-set" descriptors for the simple reason that the average user can't read and therefore will not read the MyRam docs (or so it seems :-P)
That's the only reason I included these. I know it can be set to any size from the cmd line... I do it all the time :-)
Again... the whole idea is to make user input non-existent, therefore error free operation and most of all.... No questions that the docs would have answered in the first place had they read them.

This part is wrong:
	myram.dr
	MyRam Dynamic Ramdisk Driver by Gene Heskett

		(1 required for myram.dr)
		myram_r0_24k.dd
		MyRam Ramdisk Drive descriptor 24k - /r0

		myram_r0_48k.dd
		MyRam Ramdisk Drive descriptor 48k - /r0

		myram_r0_96k.dd
		MyRam Ramdisk Drive descriptor 96k (512k only) - /r0

		myram_r0_128k.dd
		MyRam Ramdisk Drive descriptor 128k (512k only) - /r0

		myram_r0_256k.dd
		MyRam Ramdisk Drive descriptor 256k (512k only) - /r0

		myram_r0_512k.dd
		MyRam Ramdisk Drive descriptor 512k (1-2 meg only) - /r0

*

The only descriptor needed is mr0.dd. Use dmode and adjust the cyl= to 
control its size which is incremented in 8kdat image blocks. s/b a doc 
file explaining that, someplace.  If not, the readme and the whole package 
is on my web page.  Those descriptors are for "rammer" I believe.
