It only searches for a dos partition on the first hard disk. And even if it did search the second disk, the dos boot block probably wouldn't boot from that disk anyway. > 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. I've done this on Xenix386 2.3.1, by patching the "/dos" program on the Xenix disk. It's very convenient. If my Xenix disk ever quits working, I can simply remove it and still have unhindered access to the dos disk. -- Kristoffer Eriksson, Peridot Konsult AB, Hagagatan 6, S-703 40 Oerebro, Sweden Phone: +46 19-13 03 60 ! e-mail: ske@pkmab.se Fax: +46 19-11 51 03 ! or ...!{uunet,mcvax}!sunic.sunet.se!kullmar!pkmab!ske
