Other follups correctly suggest that the DOS partition should be
first.

Wrong. The device name should be /dev/dsk/0p0. The release notes
incorrectly state that you should use /dev/dsk/0p1. However, the
VP/ix manual says that you need to use 0p0.
I have noticed some peculiarities here:
mount -f DOS /dev/dsk/0p0 /dos will not work. You must use
0p1 here. The 'D /dev/dsk/0p0' statement in vpix.cnf mounts
the drive through VP/ix. You CANNOT do both.
