I have this in my /etc/devfs.conf: perm cd0 0660 perm cd1 0660 perm da0s1 0660 perm da1s1 0660 perm xpt0 0660 perm xpt1 0660 perm pass0 0660 perm pass1 0660 perm pass2 0660 perm pass3 0660 perm lpt0 0660 perm bktr0 0660 perm tuner0 0660 perm cuaa0 0660 Everyting up to lpt is for using atacam functionality (e.g. CD burning). Bktr and tuner are for the capture card (I have an old Miro Bt848). And the /boot/loader.conf has: sound_load="YES" snd_emu10k1_load="YES" nvidia_load="YES" bktr_load="YES" linux_load="YES" So here I load the bktr module upon booting. I don't use any special kernel config for bktr (I have other options for other hardware). As far as detecting your card, try pciconf -l or -lv. Also dmesg can show you what it has detected and done so far. My card because it's so old needs some PnP probing but even that works. Kldstat shows which modules are loaded.
