Um, trying to figure this out now... I *do* have HDB-DOS on an eprom, so 
I boot straight into that currently.

You're saying the DOS command has been updated in HDB-DOS to attempt to 
boot OS-9 via the drivewire connection, on the assumption that an os-9 
disk image is mounted in the first logical disk position? (What I think 
of in HDB-DOS terms as Drive #0 Drive 0) ... ?
