An Intel PRO/1000 with the em driver works flawlessly. I welcome myself
to FreeBSD/IA64.

For the record, regarding the fxp driver, using tcpdump I observed that
right after ifconfig'ing the interface, packets were sent and received
for a couple of seconds. Then, packets sent by the Itanium box were seen
by others, but not viceversa.

Now, how am I supposed to boot this beast? I pressume I should move
/boot to the EFI partition, and mount the EFI partition at /boot. But
there are two problems with this: (1) /dev/ad0p1, the EFI partition I
saw during installation, is not there anymore, and (2) I have to
manually specify the root filesystem (as ufs:da0s1a) during boot.
