Here is a link to a set of screen shot of the autoexec.bat and
config.sys for an IBM PC I came across today and the boot screen when
these are attempted without the networking hardware attached..

Specific to IBMPC to DECNET networking...anyone worked in this
environment? Not me. I don't have the D drive that fails or the
network, but I am curious what I would need to make this work. Maybe
I can put something together. Anyone using a Digital Ethernet
Personal Computer Bus Adapter today?
The A drive had a jumper between 4-pin connectors 10 and 13 but it was
not functional and I replaced the drive entirely. Not sure if I
needed a 720K drive attached externally or something in order for the
5 1/4" drive jumpered this way to work. I have a pic of this there
too.
Weird.
Thanks in advance.
