When using sysgen to create a new bootable

sysgen copy the cold start loader, too? I'm trying to do a single-drive

but the disk won't cold boot.
It depends on the implementation. Ideally, yes. However, I've seen CP/M
systems where that detail was omitted. Sometimes, the cold start loader
is copied as part of the FORMAT utility.
