Hello!
What do you have your WinNT4 setup standing on? I mean what's it using
for its resources? Parallels on your Mac? I originally had Win2K3
running via Workstation on Linux (Slackware 13.37) but the month ran
out of itself before I could shoehorn a copy of Personal Alpha onto
it. I have both a licensing tag from the appropriate HP authorities
and a copy of VMS for Alpha, but.....
I believe you understand my particular series of problems Sampsa.

Are you upgrading or is this a clean install?
If the later, restore the .B saveset image to the system disk and then boot.
You should be prompted with subsequnet install instructions.

OpenVMS VAX V7.3 Installation Procedure
Model: VAX-11/780
You are correct. ;)
...and when you've installed it, type:
$ HELP SHOW DEFAULT EXAMPLES :P
$ DEFINE KUDOS WRK:[SCHENKENBERGER.TEMP1],WRK:[SCHENKENBERGER.TEMP2]
I see!

PathWorks (at least the later versions) allowed you to manage NT domains
from within a VMS system. They had rather tight integration for many
areas. Accounts, directories, and printers could be shared (and
managed) all from within the PathWorks environment. It was a little
weird when Microsoft's SMS version 1.x was integrated but it worked...

V7.3 at the moment. It will be running multiple versions as time
permits. It is a dual boot. It can boot standalone or as a cluster
member (satellite). When I find my VAX-11/780 documentation I will
choose the drives that were available at the time to be as close as
possible to a "real" system.
I think I may do something similar, due to having difficulty booting anything other than V7.3 on the 780 simulator. ;)
