Hello everyone,
 I have a 386, running both MS-DOS 4.01 and UNIX System V.
My question: I have the active hd partition on unix, because that
is the only way I know how to start it. This means that if I want MS-DOS,
I have to boot off a floppy. However, if I do, then I have to keep it in
everytime I exit a program, like Word, or Delux Paint etc.. because it
needs command.com. Is there anyway to "switch control" over to the C:
drive, without having to use fdisk to switch active paritions again and
rebooting?
-Ron
