These and the other lines result from your initial kernel
configuration when you installed FreeBSD.  You'll find
the file with lines such as "di sn0" (meaning disable the sn 
device driver) in /boot/kernel.conf.

You can edit this file or delete the specific lines, since
the drivers no longer need to be disabled on boot--you have
taken them out of your kernel.  Of course, they remain in
kernel.GENERIC.
