Based on the above I'm lead to suspect sysinstall > breaks Virtual PC. Last time I tried it, I bumped into many different problems. FreeBSD 3.4 boot disk would actually boot in the emulator but could not detect any hard drives. Current at the time, would find the hard drives with the new ata driver but the boot disk would not boot in the emulator (got around this by using the loader on the 3.4 boot disks). Unfortunately, current of the time, would not detect the network card which I really needed. From my experience, I can see Connectix saying FreeBSD is *not* compatible.
