It is POSSIBLE, but because our BIOS is custom, it would not be easy. 
NT expects a mouse and keyboard and video, none of which our BIOS
supports.  Keyboard and mouse would have to be USB.  NT expects Real
Mode interrupt support, which our BIOS does not do.  It would be a
chore.  

Needless to say, we'd love to make our BIOS more standard... :)
