Mount VirtualPC 6 disk images via Terminal

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.
