XP install on OSX host stuck on F8

I'm installing Windows XP, SP3 from a valid install disk inside a VirtualBox on OSX 10.10.2 (Yosemite). It gets underway ok, but when it asks me to agree to the license terms, the Windows install software requires me to press F8 to accept the terms. There is a key with a sublabel F8 on my iMac, but pressing it alone or in combination with control, alt/option or command has no effect. I can't proceed. Suggestions?

Awesome. Thank you. I hadn't ever noticed that key.
