I never succeeded in _installing_ FreeBSD under Virtual PC - I experienced
much the same problems as you described. I did, however, succeed in installing
it onto a vnode FS (on an existing FreeBSD box), sticking a fake disklabel on
the image and copying the image to an Apple Mac ;) however, I got segfaults
on every binary that required ld.so under Virtual PC, which meant I was
restricted to 'ls', 'cp', 'rm' etc.

At that point I gave up..... :)
