kernel.conf allows you to set some user configurable parameters at boot
time.  You specify whether kernel.conf is loaded in /etc/defaults/loader.conf.

However, I doubt this is your problem.  You may want to check your kernel
config file for a typo.  You need to make sure that you have enabled
controller pnp0 in your config file.  Based on your config error, it sounds 
like you have specified a line such as "device pnp", which is not a
recognized device (at least in 3.5.x)  You will also need to make sure you
have specified the correct parameters for your sound card and then recompile.
