Xenix and two hard disks/Pcomm problems

Please ignore my last question about Xenix and two hard disks. It was a
bug in IBM Xenix. Switching to SCO solved my problems. :)
But now, to ask a question that I'm sure has been asked before:
How do I access DOS files on my second hard disk? When I try dosdir on
/dev/hd10 - /dev/hd1d and on /dev/rhd10 - /dev/rhd1d, all I get is the
error:
dosdir: can't open /dev/hd10
Am I doing something wrong? Is there something I forgot to do? I can
read DOS files fine from the floppies, but that's extremely inconvenient
for moving files between the two disks.
Also, I just recently (about half an hour ago) got the public domain
program Pcomm (thank you Emmet P. Gray) working under Xenix. But, I am
now having problems doing XMODEM transfers from my college account to my
Xenix machine. I've been able to do XMODEM transfers to and from my
college account before using ProComm + under DOS. Has anyone else been
experiencing problems like this? Can anyone recommend a solution? Please
no answers like "Go by <your favorite comm. prog.>" as I'm trying to stay
away from negative money flows. :)
Thanks much.
