I've installed both NT/WS 4.0 Beta 2 and the released version on the 
760ELD a few weeks back. The released version installation is smoother 
than the beta and they both came with the 800x600 driver on the CD 
except you have to look for it in the drivers directory.

The video driver on IBM web site for my machine didn't work since NT4.0 
is much different than NT3.5x.

I actually started the installation with the command WINNT /B in Win95 
from the CD and which is much faster than doing the same thing in 
regular DOS.

Good luck,

John
