You misread the boot messages.  zp can't be probed as ze.  It's only
an error message.

If you have a trouble with 3c589c for installation, install FreeBSD by
using zp-fix installation floppy

	ftp://bash.cc.keio.ac.jp/pub/os/FreeBSD/alpha-test/zpfix/zpfix.flp

or pccard-ready installation floppy

	ftp://bash.cc.keio.ac.jp/pub/os/FreeBSD/alpha-test/pccard-flp/pccard-flp-960418.tar.gz

I recommend the latter one.
