Maybe the steps I did to get the KenTon SCSI drivers built and included will help...

For TC3, you need a boot floppy or ROM like HDB-DOS.

For CoCoSDC, can boot directly. I have a 128mb .DSK file, so I just 

DRIVE 0,"OS9":DOS

Actually I have it in the config file so it’s always mounted on power up.

But, stock utilities can’t make it boot.
