The radeon 7200 was killed in the latest CVS build. I am not sure if the
7500 card is also a casualty resulting to changes in xorg-x11. I was
able to get the server up using the vesa card instead of the radeon
driver contained within xorg.conf - Using the vesa driver might allow
you to get through firstboot as suggested and submit bug reports
regarding the ills related to the 7500.
