Got it, update default screamed about everything I did by calling kdiff, 
which got picky and didn't resolve anything. hg resolve went thru and 
killed everything I had done to get it to make a l3 dsk.

So now a make clean;make dsk bails out again not very far into the 
coco3_6309 level 3 build:

But will this solve my ability to format a floppy?  The last time I tried, 
using the exact same bootfile, it worked flawlessly, so I was surprised.

My default hd boot is from $80/128, and bootlink has me set for that atm.
I don't want to ruin what I have until I know for a fact that it works 
because I'd have to restart from a floppy scratch.  That is years back up 
the log obviously.

I'll study the bailout message & see if I can figure out where it came 
from:

That is just one of the problems I thought I had fixed in yesterdays 
clone.
