Are you installing a 32-bit (i386) FreeBSD 7.0 iso on a 32-bit virtual
machine?  Or an amd64 ISO on a 64-bit virtual machine?  I would make
sure you are using the right ISO for the virtual machine setup you are
using.  VMWare Fusion on a Mac at least purports to support both 32bit
and 64bit FreeBSD.

I had no problems installing Ivan Voras's latest FreeBSD 7.0 +
finstall on a 32bit virtual machine last night.
