What happened?
On IBM PS/2 systems, Windows NT 4 will cause the emulator to crash when working with ESDI disks:
Additionally, on the Win32 UI, when fatal() is called, the entire emulator locks up and prevents you from clicking "exit", leaving you with no option but to force kill the emulator with taskkill.

I built 86Box myself (please tell us more about your build configuration)
Additional context
If NT4 is booted from a disk prepared from DOS beforehand rather than booting the installer from floppies, it will show a BSOD instead:
No modifications were made to the source.
Also, here are the NVR files and NT4 install floppies to make things easier:
