You can do it inside NetWare, provided you have (I think) at least 2.15.
DOSGEN will by default create NET$DOS.SYS in the LOGIN directory, and
this is what it will hand out to any machines asking for a boot image,
but you can create a file called BOOTCONF.SYS that specifies each
machines network number and ethernet address, then have it point to
a specific boot image, like
 
  0x01,0025a983f200=dos33.sys
  0x01,0025a983ff00=dos401.sys
 
Then when you run DOSGEN tell it to make DOS33.SYS or just rename
the NET$DOS.SYS.  All of this has to be in LOGIN, though.
