In PCem v15 and in PCem-dev commit 063a40d, FreeBSD 4.2 will successfully boot but appears to hang once the install menu appears.
I also noticed an atkbd0 device get initialized in VBox that isn't in PCem
PCem machine config:
Machine: [Socket 7] Shuttle HOT-557
CPU: Intel Pentium 166
Memory: 64MB
Video: Phoenix S3 Trio64
Sound: None
HDD: IDE 2GB
FDD: 1.44MB 3.5"
CD-ROM: 24x PCemCD
Mouse: 2-button PS/2
Kernel init messages in PCem v15:
Kernel init messages in VirtualBox:
Ignoring the prompt to switch to the root floppy and attempting to boot with the kernel floppy still in the drive causes a kernel panic (which is expected behavior) and a prompt saying there will be an automatic reboot in 15 seconds and to press a key to abort. No input seems to be accepted here but the system reboots after the expected 15 seconds.
In VirtualBox, pressing a key here stops the reboot and prints a message to the console saying to "Press a key on the console to reboot"[BUG] FreeBSD 4.2 does not accept keyboard input

Thanks. Using PCem-dev commit 6bd1c70, I was able to successfully complete a FreeBSD 4.2 installation.
