Open Boot.ini with notepad after changing the "Read only" attribute.
Copy an existing line found underneath [operating systems] and add "/sos" as well as "/basevideo"
This will allow NT to start with minimal drivers and a standard VGA video driver. Below is an example:
[boot loader]
timeout=5
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="SAFE Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00" /sos /basevideo
WARNING: Be very careful not to change anything before "\Winnt" this is the ARC path to your boot partition. Changes in these values will cause your system not to boot.
