If you have already re-built the kernel, take a look at the GENERIC or LINT config files for more information. If you have never recompiled your kernel, then wdc1 should be enable by default. Try booting with -vc to enter the USERCONFIG and check in there to make sure that "wdc1" is not disabled. Also, if you go to http://www.freebsd.org/support.html#mailing-list there are 2 links that should be of interest to you. One for browsing the mailing list archives http://www.freebsd.org/mail/ and one for searching them http://www.freebsd.org/search/search.html.
