If you want to get the machine booting and then get the latest driver off of Bill's page then grab a snapshot I made with the driver enabled at ftp://ftp.missouri.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.7XL-SNAP. I don't remember how old the driver is in this snap anymore, but itwill atleast allow you to get something up.
