I put all of my Onions sets in just below the surface with nothing more than a few millimetres of top showing and since then apart from weeding between the rows I have let them alone and they have all come up.

My Lottie neighbour Peter puts all of his Onion sets quite high up with only about half of the bulb below the surface and all of his have sprouted and are growing.

Along with Spuds I think onions are one of the easiest crops to plant and grow.
