    How can I install it on my Mac Core2Duo with SL and Parallels 5?
    I remember that under Parallels 4 there was a menu for 64 or 32 bit virtual machines, but under parallels 5?

    Thank's

    Just install a 64-bit version of FreeBSD, I did this myself with the amd64 8.0 Release version.

    One more thing: when connecting the virtual Ethernet NIC in a Parallels VM to a DHCP server
    (I'm using bridged mode) the corresponding FreeBSD 8.0 entry in /etc/rc.conf must be

    ifconfig_ed0="SYNCDHCP"

    instead of just "DHCP", since otherwise there will be no connection.
