Just wondering, did you do the install using a winnt.sif file, or
manually? Since you don't load a floppy image when starting the vm,
based on what your command-line looks like, I assume the answer is
manually. My guess is that you wouldn't need sighted help at all, if
installing with a winnt.sif file, as is the case when installing
natively, or on virtual-pc/virtualbox, which are the only 2 other vms
I've tried installing xp on thus far.
