Forcing it to rl0 worked. It seems pfSense took some time to work it out (it took a few minutes until all started working), but it worked and pfSense is up and runnning.
In any case, I followed your idea and disabled the onboard firewire. I can't remove the add-on board, because of warranty, but now that ot's working, that probably won't be a problem.
