This is a small guide to installing Windows NT 3.51 on qemu.
The NT 3.51 install is somewhat straighforward in terms of hardware.
NT 3.51 is expecting an ISA computer, and this will limit your choice of network cards to the NE2000.
With Qemu 0.10.5 I was able to select the cpu level so I don't know if it's as troubled as NT 3.1.
The NT 3.51 CD-ROM is not bootable. You will either have to have the floppies, or do a 'network' install. I recommend using MS-DOS to mount the CD-ROM and start an install that way.
disk setup
I've also had issues with a 1GB disk to install into, however I've had a 500MB disk work fine. At times the installer will pause seeming to lock but it's working... There must be some IO timeout issues at hand..
networking
The NE2000 is setup by default on the IO port of 0x300 and IRQ 9 (which is mapped to 2...)
running the emulator
This is how I run my emulator...
qemu -L . -m 32 -hda nt351.disk -cpu 486 -net nic,model=ne2k_isa -net user -M isapc
