	I am trying to add an extra hard disk to my PC at home
	running Xenix 2.2.1 and I have encountered a wierd
	problem.

	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??
