Hi Pere,
These disks are based on my own compilation of the NitrOS9 Mercurial source done about a year ago.
Unfortunately, the current NitrOS9 source for the Dragon seems to create disks that aren't bootable (at least with my configuration).
My complete working NitrOS9 disk set (CoCo & Dragon, 30 megs) is available here: http://www.mediafire.com/?5rtm5e4tdoyd114
To convert DSK to VDK I just added the 12 byte header to the dsk file.
Regarding the unusual disk size, the toolshed OS9 FORMAT tool creates compacted virtual disks, unless the -e command line switch is used to make a full sized image. Apparently I have created these disks without the -e option.
Actually, for XRoar you really want DMK disks since VDK is read-only on Xroar.
One way to convert VDK to DMK is using XRoar itself as I described here: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4374&p=9225#p9225
