your config is correct and as you see the diagnostic is very clear.
Your bios is not pnp aware hence it does not assign resources to the
card. win95 is pnp aware so this does not matter. freebsd can
initialize the card for you provided you tell it in the follwing way.
- pick some free io, irq and dma addresses (say port 0x220, irq5 drq 1
and 5 -- or the same as you use in win95
- boot -c
- issue the command
pnp 1 0 os enable port0 0x220 irq0 5 drq0 1 drq1 5
then everything should work and your pcm1 will be recognised
