COBBLER Make a bootstrap file cobbler device name Description Cobbler is used to create the OS9Boot file required on any disk from which NitrOS-9 is to be bootstrapped. The boot file will consist of the same modules which were loaded into memory during the most recent boostrap. To add modules to the bootstrap file use the OS9Gen command. Cobbler also writes the NitrOS-9 kernel on the eighteen sectors of track 34, and excludes these sectors from the disk allocation map. If any files are present on these sectors cobbler will display an error message. NOTE: The boot file must fit into one contiguous block on the mass-storage device. For this reason cobbler is normally used on a freshly formatted disk. If cobbler is used on a disk and there is not a contiguous block of storage large enough to hold the boot file, the old boot file may have been destroyed and NitrOS-9 will not be able to boot from that disk until it is reformatted.
