I don't believe you can have them coexisting on the same partition, you
would have to have two different partitions (one for Ms-dos and one for
OpenDos) and then find a boot loader which will take care of it.  I
don't believe that OpenDos currently is included with one (I could be
wrong), but you may want to look into getting Partition Magic if you
want to do this.  With partition magic, you can install a boot manager
as well as set up your partitions.  Good luck.
