You have based your assumption that XP is booted from disk connected to controller that is connected on PCI bus.
You can boot XP from ram***. In that case ntldr (or your custom loader) can load disk image in RAM memory and then boot from there
as if it was physical medium.

See /rdpath and /rdimageoffset switches in boot.ini.
