I had the same problem with DOS.  I suspect that your DOS partition is 
larger than 32 meg.  Divvy up the DOS partition into at least 2 partitions
with the primary partition being less than 32 meg.  You will me able to
boot dos and use the doscp (et. al.) utilities.  Xenix will not recognize
the extended partition, however, so don't put anything there that you
would want to doscp into the Xenix partition.
