That is because none of the disks at http://nitros9.sourceforge.net/latest/ are 
designed to boot from a .vhd image. Also the command will only work if you are 
running RGBDOS and currently on a .vhd image with the Disk Basic partition 
formatted and containing a boot disk.

If you want to update the version of NitrOS-9 on your .vhd image, you will need 
to generate a new 35-track single sided floppy image with an appropriate Boot 
module (for .vhd usage) and new OS9Boot file. That disk will need to be backed 
up to a convenient "Basic drive" on the .vhd and all files on the downloaded 
floppy will need to be transferred into appropriate directories in the NitrOS-9 
portion of the .vhd image.
