IBM R40 Network Problems (fxp0)

Hello.  FreeBSD 5.2.1's installer sees my fxp0 device (supported 
EtherExpress Pro/100B PCI), but does not allow me to use it.  I cannot 
get the boot CD to see the network.  Does anyone know if a fix exists? 
Am I missing a boot time option?

Someone (below) was able to fix fxp0 issues with an addition of 
hint.fxp.0.prefer_iomap="1" to device.hints.  Is it possible to pass 
this option to the boot CD?
