I can confirm that this problem exists. This is a Xen bug that whas

When you add /NOGUIBOOT to boot.ini the installation process continues 
up to the point where you need to enter your serial number etc.
After this point the virtual machine will crash.

When installing windows NT4 the whole Xen kernel sometimes crashes. The 
virtual machine will always crash on installing NT4.
The good news is that Windows XP and Windows 2003 both work without 
problems.

Try installing Xen on a HP DL320 G4 and run NT4 as guest. ;-)
