A while (> 2 years ago), I'm sure I ran up Windows NT on Xen 3.0 or
3.1. But that was on an AMD processor, and it's highly likely that the
BIOS / NT interaction is broken in the Intel only "simulation of
real-mode via vritual 8086 mode". The AMD processors support true Real
Mode in Virtual machine mode.
Of course, this may all have changed a huge amount, so do not rely on
my information.
