I work in the documentation team at SUSE, which is now independent but
was part of Novell some years ago. I even  have a VM with Netware 6.5
SP8 on this machine, the last version of Netware.

I will have a poke around and see if we've got copies of the Netware
docs anywhere. I might even be able to get them open-sourced if so,
although no promises on that front.
There's some stuff on Netware 6 here:

E.g. here's the Setup Guide:
https://www.novell.com/documentation/nw6p/pdfdoc/setupenu/setupenu.pdf

The chances are probably slim for anything older than Netware 6. We
still have a lot of "current versions"  -- SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server (SLES) was the official successor product to Netware and we
have over a dozen versions of that current and in support, so there's
a huge volume of old stuff. That means we have to be quite proactive
on pruning the even  older, out-of-support stuff.

I'm willing to be we do have paper versions but that might be all.
