Both FreeBSD 5.4 and 6.0 are giving me strange behavior when I try to install them in a Microsoft Virtual PC 7 virtual machine. They'll both happily boot from the ISO images, and I can get through much of the configuration process. However, at the point that they want me to choose the installation media, I select "CD/DVD" to continue using the ISO image that I booted with, and I get: No CD/DVD devices found! Please check that your system's configuration is correct and that the CD/DVD drive is of a supported type. For more information, consult the hardware guide in the Doc menu. This leads me to think that the BIOS and/or bootloader has a different view of the virtual machine than the booted kernel does. Even more interesting is that FreeBSD 4.11 not only boots from the ISO image fine, but also recognizes it for use as installation media (that is, I'm able to do a completely off-the-network installation of FreeBSD 4.11 in VPC7). Here's the output from dmesg on FreeBSD 5.4 (booted from ISO image, but used FTP as the installation media, later cvsup'd to 5-STABLE): Copyright (c) 1992-2005 The FreeBSD Project.
