For Windows NT 4.0 and prior, the boot partition had to be equal to or lesser than 4GB. This is because it created the partition as FAT16 first using an unsigned integer and 64KB cluster size (DOS used a signed integer making 2GB and 32KB cluster size the maximum partition size), making this variation of FAT16 non-DOS compatible. Then if the user selected NTFS, it would convert the file system on first boot. You would see this as a message that looked similar to performing a CHKDSK operation before the GUI loads. Beyond that, all other partitions can be up to 16 exabytes in size in theory.
now get all drivers and make it work 100% :D coincidentally, I just installed NT 4.0 last week... again after about 15 years, on period correct hardware (P200 MMX from 1998). I spent another 2 hours of driver installation, as NT 4.0 didn't have any drivers for sound, network, etc. I even managed to get USB working

Maybe you want to clarify that the look and installer is based of win95 but NOT the os itself. Especially not kernel and network features.
