          as you can see you modified something in your vm.
          pfsense is searching for em0 and em1 (intel network interface)
          but now you have hn0 and hn1 (Hyper-V network interface)
          so go on with what it's asking you and reconfigure the interfaces
          .
          he solved his problem with changing his network card definition inside config.xml from single user mode. but if you follow and answer the question that pfsense is presenting there you don't need to do it

              can't you answer that question ? ->

              Should VLANs be set up now [y|n] ?
              

              after you answer "n" it will ask you for WAN and LAN interface

                  ah then you also need to modify the config.xml
                  reboot into single user mode
                  and use vi to edit /cf/conf/config.xml

                  change every em0 / em1 to hn0 / hn1
                  .. or change the network interface back to intel network somewhere in the Hyper-v manager
                  .. or format and reinstall pfsense
