Have you tried forcing the kernel to detect your card at the specific irq
and port you have set it to?  Later FreeBSD releases (2.1.6 on) ask you if
you want to do this when the floppy boots. (The visual config)

there are no sio? messages on the bootup messages?  Try the same thing
here i guess, but those irq/port #'s should be standard (hah)
