How are you trying to build the new boot track? How did you build new OS9Boot 
files? If you are merging modules to create new OS9Boot files, you need to use 
ded to alter LSN0 so that bytes $15-$17 point to the first byte of the file and 
bytes $18-$19 indicate the size of the file.
Dir -e will give you the size of your new OS9Boot files but you can't use the 
location given by dir. You must use ded to go to the sector given by dir, find 
the actual start address, and check to see that the boot file is not fragmented.
