I recently installed 4.6.2 on a p4b533-v. This has the Intel 82562ET
PHY chip; I'm not sure about the P4S533, but perhaps it is the same.
I installed bsd without the LAN, and then had to compile the kernel
with fxp. That still wasn't enough: I needed a patch.
Here is the link that saved the day:

And here is the patch:

Recompiled the kernel and rebooted.
Then /stand/sysinstall at some point to configure the fxp with my ip's.
Rebooted with a cable plugged in and it found the connection!
