Followup to myself.

I succeded to get little further, but it still fails!

I used to 20030828 JPSNAP 5.1-CURRENT floppies and did:

set hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range=1
set hw.pci.enable_io_modes=0
set hw.eisa_slots=0
boot -v

This time I got to the sysinstall screens but it hangs during disksetup
(where one partitions the disks). 

I managed to get 4.8 installed on it but thats not what fits my needs.

Hints?

ACPI, ACPI-disabled (booting from a -CURRENT ISO snap) doesnt seem to
matter much.
