The partitions DID overlap and the dos side wrote over the Xenix boot tracks all of the time. My problem was solved by getting a new rom. The problem was that the rom did not have an entry for the ST4096 and thus I was forced to make use of a 'non-standard' drive type. The way dos and xenix handle non-standard drives is different enough that they conflicted and though they knew that each other was there they did not like it. According to my manual in this instance you CAN NOT switch partitions and boot off of the HD for dos. You must boot from floppy for the dos side. But, I do not recommend it, I had to reinstall Xenix 8 times before I got the new rom, now I have no problems of this sort at all.
