Hey all,
I've searched a few forums and I can't find anyone else who has had this problem... maybe its just a VPC 7 bug...
I've downloaded FreeBSD 5.3 mininst iso from their FTP site and I've captured that image with VirtualPC, its starts up ok, i get to most of the installation screens with no prob, though when choosing what installation media to use I choose CD/DVD, then it tells me it can't find any CDorDVD devices, though during startup I see it finds cd0
So yeah.. HELP!

I only have the "old" VPC 6.1.1, but the solution is probably the same: in your FreeBSD virtual machine's CD/DVD settings, you should uncheck the second box (saying something like "standard IDE configuration"), as FreeBSD requires the CD-ROM drive to be on the primary controller in VPC (not the secondary one, as it would be with the default settings). This worked for me, anyway...
