- SCO Xenix 2.3.2 can ONLY "see" DOS 3.3 formatted partitions. Dos 5.0
- shows up as "unknown". A possible work around is to create a
- 32 MB partition formatted with DOS 3.3. Then install DOS 5.0
- on top of 3.3. You can't exceed 32 MB partition with Xenix 2.3.2.
- If you need more DOS partitions, you can add them after your xenix
- partition.

- -good luck...
