- SCO will only co-exist "nicely!" with a bootable DOS partition of 32MB or
- less. This is not to say that it won't work with a larger partition on the
- hard disk, it just means that you won't be able to type "dos" at the "boot:"
- prompt and have the machine boot DOS. I also means that you will need to
- boot off a DOS floppy to have "fdisk" change the active partition from
- UNIX to DOS and back. This happens because of what was available when the
- code was written. SCO UNIX 3.2v4 does not have these restrictions.
