Here is what I tried and the results:
QEMU    Windows NT 4.0 Status
---------       --------------------------------
0.9.1   Works
0.10.2  Freezes at the blue startup screen
0.13.0  Freezes at the blue startup screen
1.0.1   Freezes at the blue startup screen

I'm working to find if a single commit broke QEMU's Windows NT 4.0  
compatibility. I think its possible the BIOS might be the issue.
