I have installed Venix before, but only on a 10MB system.

However, I did have  the same problem with Xenix. I had a Seagate ST225
20MB that formatted just fine under MS-DOS, but it would only
format to 10MB under Xenix no matter what I tried...low level
formats, repartitioning, etc etc....

Finally I solved the problem by putting in a different
disk controller. I was using a Xebec controller, and 
switched to a Western Digital WD1002, and it worked fine.
