Well... since my post, I have tried an old PCI videocard to make sure
it wasn't the on-board VGA messing up. Exact same problem with it.
I also tried installing FreeBSD on my other computer and transfer over
the HDD. It installed correctly, but wouldn't boot on the server, due
to some mount error. Not even the "set ata.ata_dma=0" thing worked
(which I usually have to do for my boxes with FreeBSD). :(
I also burned a 7.x (bleeding edge current) CD to see if it had been
fixed. Same problem.
I eventually gave up, having tried everything within my power (I don't
own a COM cable (or whatever they are called), so I couldn't test the
terminal redirection thing), and installed Debian Linux via floppies.
It went without problems.
Now, I'm used to FreeBSD and I love(d) it. I've used it since 4.7. I
don't feel good about basically being forced to switch to Linux, but I
must say that the package handeling in this OS is far superior to the
FreeBSD ports... so far. I might be wrong, but that's my initial
thoughts.
