Man, you are so freaking wrong on that point! If there was ever any doubt about your operating system experience before, it's surely gone now. Netware up through 5.x required DOS or PC-DOS in order to start up. Repeat: required it! And by the way, unloading DOS from memory after server.exe started was an option; it did not automatically erase DOS from memory. Again, clearly you are lacking real experience with Netware, and other other operating systems as well.
You can't unload DOS from memory in Windows 98 without crashing the system. In Netware, you could unload DOS from memory without any problems. Netware just needed DOS to boot. That was it.
