Very very kinda sortof.
Netware 2 could cold-boot itself.
Netware 3 & 4 needed DOS as a bootloader. If you wanted, you could
issue a command:
REMOVE DOS
... and then the memory was reclaimed and added to the disk cache.
But if you wanted to load stuff from floppy or from a FAT C: drive, or
from a CD that didn't have Netware drivers, you needed DOS present.
But Netware wasn't really running on it, as demonstrated by the
ability to remove it after booting.
