Michael, can you try to use -cpu host,-vme and see if that makes a
difference?


With -cpu host,-vme winNT boots just fine as with just -cpu host.

I also tried with -cpu qemu64 and kvm64, with +vme and -vme (4
combinations in total) - in all cases winNT crashes with the
same 0x0000003E error.  So it appears that vme makes no
difference.

Please try again the model/vendor/family. I suggest using x86info on both to see what the differences are, using -cpu host with overrides to make it equivalent to qemu64 (and verifying it fails), then removing the overrides one by one until it works.
I managed to get a NT4 CD and can acknowledge the issues you see. I am about to debug this now. With -cpu host (on a AMD K8, similar to Michael's) I get to the point Michael mentioned:
 Microsoft (R) Windows NT (TM) Version 4.0 (Build 1381).
 1 System Processor [512 MB Memory]  Multiprocessor Kernel
Then it _seems_ to hang, checking for getting beyond a certain TSC value in a tight loop. (rdtsc; cmp %edx, %edi; ja @rdtsc; jb bailout; cmp %eax, %ebx; ja @rdtsdc; bailout:) But after some time (when I got back from the monitor, but also without going into) I could proceed with the installation.
Michael, can you confirm this?
I will now try to get behind the STOP 3E error.

Regards,
Andre.
