Has anyone had any luck getting FreeBSD 3.0 to run on Virtual PC? I know that people have reported in the past that they couldn't get it to work, but newer versions of FreeBSD and Virtual PC have come out in the meantime. I'm able to boot off an image of the boot floppy, but depending on how I set up the drives in Virtual PC (you can make the CD either the secondary master or the primary slave), FreeBSD will either not see the hard drive or not see the CD. In no case does it seem to want to detect the ethernet card (which is supposed to emulate a PCI DEC 21041). I'd considered creating a DOS drive and installing off of that, but that still leaves me ethernet-less. Are there any tricks to getting this thing working, or should I just give up? Thanks.
