I've been on again / off again playing with a FreeBSD guest installed under Virtual PC. For a while, sound didn't work, but with VPC 6.0.1 sound now works.
To get it going, you need to do this (in a 5.0-RELEASE guest installation):
Add this to /boot/device.hints:
hint.sbc.0.at="isa"
hint.sbc.0.port="0x220"
hint.sbc.0.irq="5"
hint.sbc.0.drq="1"
hint.sbc.0.flags="0x15"
Then add this to /boot/loader.conf:
snd_sbc_load="YES"
snd_sb16_load="YES"
The only problem left is X. The X server consistently crashes loading the 'int10' module every time no matter what I try. It must be an issue peculiar to FreeBSD running in a Virtual PC guest, since it aparently doesn't happen to Linux.
