The firewire driver is part of the GENERIC kernel. But AFAICT your
chipset doesn't seem to be on the list of supported devices in
fwohci(4).

If you get the system up and running, try enabling firewire in the BIOS
again, and see if the system boots.

If the system boots, but there is no firewire device, check the output
of 'pciconf -lv' to see what kind of chip it is.

Have a look at the archives for the freebsd-firewire list.
(http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-firewire/) Maybe your
problem has been handled there. If not, post a message to that list.
