FWIW, I have the exact same motherboard from E-ITX as well.  I run  
FreeNAS on mine.  FreeNAS is running the FreeBSD 6.2-REL-p8 kernel and  
detects the CPU just fine:

CPU: VIA C7 Esther+RNG+AES+AES-CTR+SHA1+SHA256+RSA (1200.01-MHz 686- 
class CPU)
   Origin = "CentaurHauls"  Id = 0x6a9  Stepping = 9

It seems you have a newer ID and different Stepping than mine.  I have  
no way to boot 6.3 on this box until FreeNAS is using 6.3.
