Xenix 286 on AST Bravo

We are thinking of getting Xenix for my dad's 286 box and have a couple
of questions. His current configuration is (will be):

	4 Mb of onboard memory
	VGA Video
	40 & 110 Mb harrddisks
	1.2Mb 5.25" & 1.44Mb 3.5"

	1. Will the AST boot Xenix directly or will it boot from a
	   PC parttition and then start up ?
	2. Which version(s) of Xenix will support 2 IDE Harddisks
	   (40 & 110Mb), as well as possibly a SCSI tape subsystem ?
	3. Do you have to get anything else to be able to run DOS
	   appls. under Xenix, or will the base Xenix system be able
	   to do it ? How many at the same time ? 

Please respond by E-Mail, I can summarize if anyone cares.
Thanks, -ingo
