[Coco] Just another peek...

[Dave Philipsen]

I have already contacted one person who subscribes to this list looking 
for help in developing a stand-alone boot into NitrOS9 but have not yet 
received a reply from him.  If anyone has some experience with this and 
would like to help it would be much appreciated.  Basically what is 
involved is the modification of the Boot module and perhaps re-location 
and re-sizing of the boot track to the SD card.  In fact, as I see it 
there's no reason why we couldn't change the two-stage boot process into 
a single-stage process and boot the entire NitrOS9 system in one fell 
swoop!
