Hmmm... This is the only network adapter I can see in your boot
messages.  Which is odd, because the nfe(4) device was first supported
in 7.0 -- were you using ethernet on the machine with 6.3 at all? 
Did you patch the 6.3 kernel or use a separate NIC card if so?

If that hasn't caused a light to dawn, could you send the output
from

    pciconf -lv
    ifconfig -a   (obfuscate the IP numbers if you really must)

	Cheers,
