That's Dual Boot.  Boot Manager does not require DOS in any way.

Boot Manager is, essentially, a mini-operating system that lives in a
partition all of its own, that does nothing more than present a large blue
window on the screen listing the bootable volumes for the user to select a
volume to boot from, and then load and execute the selected volume's boot
sector.
