pkg_add qemu and the following script to start my xp instance:

#! /bin/sh
#
# Add the following line for cdrom to be found
#   -cdrom /dev/cd0a \

ulimit -d 1572864;
/usr/local/bin/qemu-system-i386 -m 768 \
-net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user,hostname=xp \
-no-fd-bootchk \
-monitor stdio \
-hda xp.img

Typical windows took hours to install in qemu using:

/usr/local/bin/qemu-system-i386 -m 768 \
-monitor stdio -vnc :0 \
-no-fd-bootchk \
-hda xp.img \
-cdrom /dev/cd0a -boot d

Although often just changing the user agent in my browser is sometimes 
sufficient for stupid sites.
