Nah, sc0 is required, not vga0.  Also, you need fd0 if you want the drive o=
n=20
fdc0 to show up.  This is what I use (sio0 is there so it can be used as a=
=20
serial console):

hint.fd.0.at=3D"fdc0"
hint.fd.0.drive=3D"0"
hint.sc.0.at=3D"isa"
hint.sc.0.flags=3D"0x100"
hint.sio.0.at=3D"isa"
hint.sio.0.port=3D"0x3F8"
hint.sio.0.flags=3D"0x10"
hint.sio.0.irq=3D"4"
