I made this boot-able Dnet floppy for an old Centris 610 I have lying around

On this floppy I have:
•System 7.1's System Suitcase and System Folders (Extensions, etc...)
•System Enabler 040 (Centris Needs This)
•MacTCP Control Panel, MacTCP DNR, MacTCP Prep files for connecting to internet
•Substitute 1.6.0 in place of the real Finder
•Dnet 68K v 2.8007-458 (2.8010-462 is the newest, but if I recall, it can't connect to the internet)

Dnet units are held in memory (no output to disk) and this disk has a whopping 5K to spare! The only problem is, when I open dnet, it tells me the app requires MacOS 8.0 or better!!!! And its not the fake Finder that is causing that odd message, because i get the same message when I replace the Finder with Dnet itself, when it goes to launch, I get the same strange looking dialog box, with an odd thick black rectangle with rounded corners in it, telling me "This application requires MacOS 8.0 or better"

It doesn't right?
What is the deal?
I wanna grow a little 68K Dnet farm, without hard drives.
