[net.micro.pc] Venix/DOS

Hess.Unicorn%MIT-MULTICS@sri-unix.UUCP (11/18/83)

I've heard that DOS can be told to start at some disk block which is not
zero for its partition.  I've seen that Venix-86 can't (yet).  Tell
Venix you have an ordinary XT, tell DOS that you want to start on some
high-numbered block, either on the main drive (or on a different drive,
if it lets you, but I don't remember seeing anything that said so).  If
all else fails, write a Venix command which reads DOS off the second
disk and does a boot sequence for you.  It should be much easier than
doing it vice versa.  Sorry that this is so general, but it's
directionally accurate, I feel...
