[comp.unix.xenix.sco] does boot: dos exist for dos4.0 partitions??

jim@shograf.com (jim morris) (04/23/91)

When I had a dos3.3 partition co-existing with my xenix partition
I could type dos at the xenix boot: prompt to boot dos.

This does not work for a dos4.01 partions (> 32Mb). I do not
want to create a standard FAT16 partition just to boot from.
So has anyone patched the /boot in xenix to recognize a DOS 4.01 >32Mb
partition.

Is it just a matter of recognizing the PartitionID for >32Mb. It
seems that this would be the case, as boot only needs to load the
boot record from that partition. not access the fat, dir etc..

Any help greatly appreciated, as always.

Jim
