write your own boot.ini sounds like the best option?
Vista doesn't use boot.ini AFAIK.

correct, it uses bcdedit.exe

there's some info here about running the two together and how to remove vista (if you decide to do so) when you've had them running side by side

RE: Vista and XP
so we are over writing the vista boot record so we can use boot.ini:P
install xp then replace your boot.ini with
code:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(0)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows Vista" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
