Initially I get:

..and I choose the unmounted fs option.  Then I get the same as Tuomo:

Now that I've got the sets on my GEMDOS drive this will be at least one day 
faster for me to test in the future.  (Copying the sets via a Ghostlink 
serial connection is an overnight process.  I probably should search for 
some kind of TCP/IP stack for TOS that works with the Riebl/ANS to make file 
xfer faster in that environment.)
