Nah, sc0 is required, not vga0.  Also, you need fd0 if you want the drive on 
fdc0 to show up.  This is what I use (sio0 is there so it can be used as a 
serial console):

hint.fd.0.at="fdc0"
hint.fd.0.drive="0"
hint.sc.0.at="isa"
hint.sc.0.flags="0x100"
hint.sio.0.at="isa"
hint.sio.0.port="0x3F8"
hint.sio.0.flags="0x10"
hint.sio.0.irq="4"
