Yes, I'm aware of all those other posts. The thing is that I don't want to recompile the kernel just to install the OS. It seems the problem is in the firewire module because everyone recompiling without the module gets a working install/setup.
I'd be ok if there is a way to pass a kernel parameter with grub to avoid loading the firewire module at boot but I was told on ##FreeBSD @ irc.freenode.net that it wasn't possible and that the only way was recompiling the kernel. I want to make up my own mind on this issue because I can't believe this to be this "inflexible".
