Okay, I had a busy week but finally got back to this machine and made a
fresh attempt at installing FreeBSD on it.
I followed your advice and made the whole hard drive into a gigantic

I'm afraid it's gone from bad to worse.
The 7.1 system may have recognised the ethernet adapter, but it seemed
to fail writing to the hard drive.
I got this during installation:

It shouldn't really. AFAIK the code for the network interface drivers is
architecture independant. On amd64 I also had s

I'm using the amd64 version, don't know if this makes a difference.

It won't mount automatically, unless you have the a
The ifconfig utility tells me that the machine recognises something called
fwe0 with an ethernet address of 02:1e:8c:9a:3b:96. However dmesg tells me
this is a 'Fake Ethernet' address.
fwe is firewire emulated ethernet - you may connect 2 computers using

I know that the interface works because it functioned fine with the old
virus software called 'Vista' on that connection.
The ifconfig utility tells me that the machine recognis
