Except for the different hardware, that looks about right from the title. For some reason the video doesn't play, so I'll download and convert. I guess I'll see if there's enough info there to make things work.
Thanks for the pointer.

Just to say: this now all works. Incl. booting VMWare Fusion from the same WinXP partition.
My original attempt tried to restore a WinXP install with WinClone, but that install was somehow corrupted.
Installing WinXP from scratch seems to have cured the issues.

Partition tables now look as follows:

--- Code: ---root# fdisk /dev/rdisk0

That linux swap partition has a volume label of .hidden which along with the partition type keeps it out of sight in both Mac OS X and WinXP.
