Having messed with it all myself try these suggestions:

MAKEDEV pnp0 will fail because it doesn't need an entry in /dev
Also, don't go with snd0 and its devices as it well get phased out as one of
the `senior' members of the list was able to tell me.

Look at LINT for pcm0 and then look in /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/snd/ at README and
CARDS.

Although ye didn't say which version of FreeBSD I am guessing either 2.2.7 or
3.0.

HTH,
