Hi there,
I'm not sure about the 1100, but the 4500 run Linux inside ( 4 drives though).
definitely nothing fancy inside ( i actually reused one of them for a mail
server using gentoo, as fbsd would not like the IDE controllers )..

I would just give the HD a try in some other box... 

if you want  a fbsd live cd, try freesbie.org

good luck
