Subject:   How do I make 6.0-RELEASE see cdrom in Virtual PC 7 (OS X)?
Message-ID:  <A9874AB2-EEE4-4233-A0DF-540C806B1893@pobox.com>

The good news is that FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE ISOs and floppy images boot  
under Virtual PC 7.0.2 for OS X.  Networking works, and I can install  
the rest of the system from FTP.

The bad news is that it doesn't see the cdrom once it has booted, so  
it can't install anything from CD.  I already downloaded the ISOs, so  
I'd prefer to just grab the files from them.  As a compromise, I'll  
probably set up an ftpd on my LAN, but I'd really like to get the  
cdrom working.

Does anyone have notes to make this work?  Kernel boot messages are  
included for the curious.

Thanks.
