Assuming the combination of Vista (either 32 or 64 bit) and NetWare 
6.5, you can set up drive mapping with no client using CIFS/NFA:
 
OK, on the Vista side (with admin rights on the vista workstation):

Here is the sequence from 'the top' (at least in RC1 and RC2)

1) 	Click Start
2)	Click Control Panel (not classic view)
3)	Click System & Maintenance
4)	Click Administrative Tools
5)	Double Click Local Security Policy
6)	On the left pane, click to expand Local Policies
7)	On the left pane, click on Security Options
8)	Now, on the right pane, near the bottom, click on
	Network Security LAN Manager Authentication Level
9)	On the drop down, change the default setting (NTLMv2 only) to
	Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session if negotiated.

On the NetWare side, you need NW 6.5 plus SP5, plus the post SP5 
updates (specifically the post SP5 update to nss).  NetWare SP6 should 
work as well.
