[Coco] Becker boot disks and 6309 lg labeling

I have been able, using a snapshot of the NitrOS-9 project June10,2019 to create normal and 
Drivewire disks which have 6309 lg labeling on most if not all files having 6309 code. These disks 
boot and behave normally.

A Becker disk will not complete the boot process. There is not much difference between a Drivewire 
and Becker boot disk. The essence is just dwio_becker.sb vs dwio.sb. I don't see anything in the 
dwio.asm file that would cause this problem. I don't see boot_dw_becker being involved as all the 
modules in OS9Boot load and the boot process stops with .... Clock2 i2x  .

This is more of a challenge than anything I consider important, so I am quite happy having all 
modules labeled as 6809 code. Anyone have some ideas?
