Ok.

No.

Next, look at ifconfig(8) and netstat -i status for the two test
machines.

Then try explicitly setting 100baseTX and full duplex for the test
machines.

What is the output of:

# ifconfig -m sk0

You could also try running the sk0 as autoselect, both with the test
machines and the switch.
