3. NetWare boot support is contingent on migration of the DOS boot partition to an NSS partition. NetWare will warn you of the possibility of data corruption if you convert the DOS boot
partition to an NSS partition. The risk of data corruption is during I/O to the C: drive while in the NetWare debugger, or while writing reboot log files during an "Auto Restart After
Abend". When you load DOSFAT, please set "Auto Restart After Abend" to 0 to avoid the possibility of data corruption.
