[Coco] memory modules surviving DOS?

Roger's need for configuration data to survive from DECB to OS9 made
me think of a pair of questions:

I know that original OS-9 scans memory for ROM modules on boot.  Is
this code still active in NitrOS?

If I loaded/created an OS-9 module in RAM under BASIC, then booted
(Nitr)OS-9, would that module survive? (Assuming it's located
somewhere in memory where the boot process itself doesn't overwrite
it.)
