[Coco] Trying to build new images

[Bill Pierce]

Christopher, those messages only appear in level 2 booting. Bill is booting level 1 which just shows "NitrOS9 Boot" on the screen until it loads the shell.

Bill:

    IF the only text on the screen is "Nitros9 Boot" then something is
wrong with your kernel (krn) or there isn't one on track 34 (from the
merge command in the script).

    The boot screen should show something like this at the top:
(32 columns and different module names, of course.)

Krel boot krntb0................
................................
............ bkrnp2 dd d0 rbf
rb1773 term w w1 w2 w3 w4 scf 
cowin clock clock2 init i2xoC


    If the boot process does not complete, the above should end (short)
with a '*' and a single letter. It would help with diagnosis if you
could supply these details.

    Attached is an explanation of the boot process in detail and more
info about the error reporting. (With DOS type end-of-lines as I don't
know what type 'big' computers you use.)
