I seem to be having a problem with simulatask 2.0 (left over from
AT&T) and Esix V 3.2 and a second drive.

I would like to have the second drive all DOS and the first drive all
UNIX. I can boot Unix off the hard drive and DOS off the floppy and 
change command.com to the second drive.

BUT I can't get simultask to boot dos from unix with the second drive.
Ideally I would like to replace the vpix.cnf C: spec to the second 
drive (but the D: spec would be sufficient).

Well I tried to run dosslice - It gave an invalid device - so I 
ran diskadd - it would not let me do it unless I made a UNIX partition
on the second drive of at least 49% (This is not diserable - but I
tried it).  Then I boot dos and get a message like the following:

ERROR 6 trying to access D:

How do I simultask(VPIX) to use the second drive as the boot drive
(or as d: drive) without using part of the disk as a unix partition


Thanks in advance
