Re: Boot from V7.3-1 CD does not show EVA Fiber Channel devices
What Processor type are you dealing with?
Different Models deal with FC storage differently. Have you run wwidmgr, if it's an older CPU, to make it aware of your FC disks?

SolutionDo you have access to an 8.2 boot CD? If so I'd do my clean install of 7.3-1 on a scratch scsi disk, load ECOs, then boot from the 8.2 kit and backup/image the new system disk.
If you want to move your current system disk, again boot from the 8.2 CD and use backup/image.
You will need to use wwidmgr to configure the new fibre channel disk as a boot device.
You could do a minimal boot at the console and use backup/image to move your system disk. Should be fine doesn't mean will be fine, but you could probably do this. Of course you'll still need to come up with boot media to restore your system disk backups if the need ever arises.
You also install the older 1gb hba, although I wouldn't recommend this option.
With all that, why not take this opportunity to install 8.2 or 7.3-2? VMS 7.3-1 is out of support, 7.3-2 will go into extended support if you're not ready to jump to 8.2 yet.

I agree with Andy. Most likely the CD and its drivers are too old.
