I want to use part of my second disk to install DOS, and have troubles.

I have been running Xenix 2.3.2 on a 386 here at home for two years now.
Adaptec 2372 RLL controller with two drives.  The first is a MItsubishi
535R, and the second a Microscience HH1060.  I have been running both
with the whole disk as a Xenix partition.  Root on the 535R and /u on
the 1060.  Works fine.  I also run VP/ix for some applications, but 
MS Windows does not run under VP/ix.

Now I want to use about 20MB on the second drive for a DOS partition, so
I can boot up Windows 3.0.  Using Xenix fdisk I cut the Xenix partition
down, restored the files, all OK.  Then using DOS 3.3 fdisk, when I want
to create a DOS partition, it tells me there is 1 track available, and
there is no space for a DOS partition.  I have tried different CMOS
specs for the drive.  It has 1024 cyls 5 heads, and there is a type listed
in my CMOS for that.  I also tried other types, but I always get the same
message from DOS fdisk.  The DOS fdisk must work for second drives, since
there is an option on the menu to go to the next drive.

Has anyone a solution to this problem?  Or a hint of what to try next?
