Hi Dmitry & Dave,

I tried all of the options you 2 suggested, none of them worked. Here's a
screenshot on the problem reported by parallels. Also, I don't know if it
matters mentioning this but unlike for Linux ISO images, parallels does not
show disk allocation option for FreeBSD images (it shows hardisk is of size
0, and there is no option to set how much hard disk to allocate).

Thanks,

Aman
