MS-DOS Safe-Mode in Windows NT possible?



Is there a way to get to the _real_ MS-DOS in Windows NT? Beleive it or
not, you can get tired of Virtual Dos Machine windows (especially when
low-level calls won't work).

I've tried holding down a function key (I think it was F8).
I've tried CTRL-ALT-DEL in the middle of the boot process (just results in
garbage on the screen).

Why does NT completely override MS-DOS? According to the help file and the
shut down dialog box, there isn't any Safe-Mode. But why not? I need a way
to get into the REAL DOS! The SAFE-MODE DOS! I NEED THE REAL DOS!!!
