Problem with Xenix 2.2.1 with 2 Hard Disks

I am trying to add an extra hard disk to my PC at home
running Xenix 2.2.1 and I have encountered a wierd
problem.
My main hard disk (device 0) is a 70 MB and I am trying
to add a 20 MB hard disk (device 1) to run MS-DOS.
The problem I am getting is that when Xenix boots and
I get the familiar "Xenix Boot:" message and I enter
"dos" to get it to boot from the second hard disk
which is formatted under dos, it tells me that it
cannot find a dos partition. It appears to me that to
get xenix to boot the dos partition on the second
physical drive there must be some kind of a xenix
partition on that drive.
The ideal situation that I would like would be for
xenix to be on the main hard disk and for the second
hard disk to be totally dos.
Has anyone got any ideas on this matter??
