I know only for Novell Netware till version 4.12 (or 4.20) that it is
boots from DOS. So if you can boot DOS you can boot netware, and you
can boot DOS as you know already.
Regarding your original question (can the win, linux, netware and bsd
be all installed on the same hard disk, IIRC), yes you can have all of
them but only beware that the WinXX like to write over MBR and
sometimes over partition table for no apparent reason.
Or maybe they like to destroy anything what isn't devil's product. ;)
That is company policy, anyway.
