One way that has worked for me: Put Xenix or Unix on drive C:, make it the
active partition.  Put the DOS partition where you want it, and don't make
it the active one.  To boot DOS, boot from a floppy disk.  DOS will search
for the first DOS partition and make that its drive C:.

To boot Unix, just open the drive door.
