My main hard disk (device 0) is a 70 MB and I am trying to add a 20 MB hard disk (device 1) to run MS-DOS. The problem I am getting is that when Xenix boots and I get the familiar "Xenix Boot:" message and I enter "dos" to get it to boot from the second hard disk which is formatted under dos, it tells me that it cannot find a dos partition. It appears to me that to get xenix to boot the dos partition on the second physical drive there must be some kind of a xenix partition on that drive. The ideal situation that I would like would be for xenix to be on the main hard disk and for the second hard disk to be totally dos. Has anyone got any ideas on this matter??
