Mount VirtualPC 6 disk images via Terminal Apps
To mount a Virtual PC 6 disk image from the command line, cd to the disk package directory in Terminal, and enter the following command:
hdiutil attach -readonly -imagekey \
diskimage-class=CRawDiskImage BaseDrive.vhd
(An easy way to change to the package directory is to type in cd, press the Space Bar, and then drag the VPC disk image icon onto the terminal window.)

It will take a long time for hdiutil to locate the MS-DOS partition, but it will eventually find it and mount it.

Mount VirtualPC 6 disk images via Terminal
Authored by: jackster on Nov 23, '07 07:14:24AM

Could you explain a little more fully your hack? Does this allow you to use a Virtual PC Windows Sparse Drive Image to be opened and run on an Intel Mac without running Virtual PC with it since it can't work on the same? Or does this simply allow you to open the disk image which otherwise I have not found a way to open? Do you know if this would this work on VirtualPC 5 images as well?
