Next problem:
the installation's dmesg shows net driver em0, which is Intel PRO/1000 - and
this is how install offers to configure the network;

Express, which is bge0 driver in FB.
How to force it to discover the right net device during install, and/or after
install ?
This is normal for VirtualBox -- it doesn't matter what NIC the host
has, VB always presents it as an em(4) interface to the guest.
Under Network/Adapter1/Advanced, there are other choices for the
emulated adapter type. Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (82540EM) is the
default, and usually a good choice. The first choice is PCnet-PCI II
(Am79C970A), and that one works with FreeBSD also. That first one is
capable of PXE-booting in bridged mode, where the emulated Intel cards
are not.
