How can I boot multiple operating systems including SCO Unix ?

Your SCO system includes the ability to boot Unix/Xenix or other operating systems; see the man page for boot. This is enough in most, though certainly not all, cases.

As always, make and verify at least one backup and at least one set of emergency diskettes before performing any major systems work. This qualifies as major systems work.

Sometimes, you may have to deactivate your Unix/Xenix partition, install a new operating system, then reboot from your emergency diskettes and reactivate the Unix/Xenix partition.
