At the moment you can't set it up via bootloader. XP doesn't support EFI on the motherboards and the intel macs don't have a BIOS. (EFI is the next generation replacement to the BIOS) You can use Bootcamp which allows some virtualization of the hardware level to run XP. (Bootcamp isn't a true VM, it's just translating EFI into BIOS and back.)

I was told by the guy in the mAc store here that he can load Windows XP SP2 on a mac and boot it seperately ... dont know how true that is, didnt pay it much attention ... he did say it only worked with SP2.
