Wonder why you are doing things this way?  Maybe I'm missing something but
I leave the Xenix partition active at ALL times.  Dos is installed first
on the hard disk then Xenix.   When I get the Xenix boot prompt:

boot
:

If I hit RETURN or do nothing I boot into Xenix.  If I type 'dos' and
hit return I boot DOS.  Is this what you are trying to achieve?
