Booting RC5 via VirtualBox

I have been having mixed results importing booting the .vmdk and .vhd
into virtualbox.  I did get it to work once, but now cannot do it for
some reason.  I have been doing the following steps which seem like they
should work, but I end up with
"FATAL:  No bootable medium found! System Halted"

I download  FreeBSD-10.0-RC5-i386-20140108-r260430.vhd


VBoxManage convertdd FreeBSD-10.0-RC5-i386-20140108-r260430.vhd --format
VDI rc5-i386.vdi

VBoxManage createvm --name rc5i386 --ostype FreeBSD --register

VBoxManage modifyvm rc5i386 --memory 1024 --ioapic on --cpus 1 --chipset
ich9 --nic1 bridged --nictype1 82540EM --bridgeadapter1 em0

VBoxManage storagectl rc5i386 --name "SATA" --add sata --controller
IntelAhci --portcount 4

VBoxManage storageattach "rc5i386" --storagectl "SATA" --port 0 --device
0 --type hdd --medium rc5-i386.vdi
VBoxManage modifyvm rc5i386 --vrdeproperty VNCPassword="xxxxx"
VBoxHeadless --startvm rc5i386


What am I missing ?
