Bootcamp install with Win XP sp1a disc?

I have: 2.4Ghz macbook with NVIDIA 9400M, 4G ram and Lion OS, late 2008 model. I'd like to install my copy of Win XP sp1a via bootcamp. Mac support tells I need XP sp2, is there a work around? (VMware won't support my graphics rendering needs)

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

For another thing, XP is not supported. As you can see from multiple posts yesterday and for last year.
