------

	It could if a boot image was provided on the unix disk that would
load and boot dos, but that is not part of the standard release.

	At that boot prompt, it is asking for the name of a unix file to
load as the kernel.  You can then load your custom, non-default versions
if you so choose, but unless you have a file named 'dos' in your
root directory that will boot real dos, it won't work.
