Nope, not yet. Looking for easier alternatives first.

Well, AFAICT, it should work. Nothing odd or non-standard. Again, AFAICT.

The machine already runs 8.1 (see [1]). Sorry for not making that clear.
(in my defence, the information is available on the page I referenced in my 
post, 
but obviously nobody bothered to check that. Oh well.)
Now I want to install 7.4 on another partition, so I can test
that release as well.

I always try to install as many different releases on a machine as I can / have 
space for;
it has proven useful in the past, and it is my small way to help FreeBSD 
developers
by testing as much (many releases / branches) as I can, on as much hardware as 
I can.
