I found an old winNT-4.0 install CD-Rom and tried that. But
it stops right at "Inspecting your hardware configuration"
stage, with the error: "STOP: 0x0000003E" (BSOD). According
to MS -- http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms819006.aspx --
this means "multiprocessor configuration is not supported. For
example, not all processors are at the same level or of the same
type. There might also be mismatched coprocessor support."
Obviously I'm running it with -smp 1, here's the complete
kvm command line:
kvm -hda winNT.raw -m 512 -cdrom Win_NT_4_Enterprise.iso -localtime -vga std
(with default vga - cirrus - it displays garbage)

And the complete BSOD:
