I currently have SFT Netware 286 2.11 running in a
non-dedicated server setup. This allows the server
cpu to also be used as a node but it requires the
entire Netware and DOS boot partitions to reside in
the first 32M of disk space. If I were to use a DOS
version > 3.3 (hence large paritions) would that 32M
limit still apply? Is the limitation in the version
of DOS I'm using or is it inherent in Netware?
Thanks for any comments...

DOS has the 32 MEG limitation. Since you must boot DOS first for non dedicated systems, DOS must have it's boot record at track 0. Once DOS is loaded, you can then load the NW OS. It will read it's own configuration/partition information and act accordingly.
