I had this same problem before, and what I did was to create a DOS partition
and a UNIX partition so that I could boot the beast in either mode with 
the use of 'fdisk'.  I then issued the 'dosslice' command which made the
DOS partition available to Simultask...simply edited the vpix.cnf to point
to the partition rather than a pseudo-vol.

This way, I can 'have my cake' and run in native 386 mode if desired by
booting up in DOS rather than UNIX...

I must admit, I was scared to issue the 'dosslice' command, fearing that
it would somehow make DOS unbootable from a cold-start, but it works
perfectly.
