Here's my HOMEBASE configuration file, again with many thanks
(I do have a disk in the CD, although the GENERIC kernel finds
the drive whether or not there's a disk inside):

Ignore the references to GENERIC, this is HOMEBASE:
#
# GENERIC -- Generic machine with WD/AHx/NCR/BTx family disks
# This is HOMEBASE as of 4 Sep 99
#
# For more information read the handbook part System Administration -> 
# Configuring the FreeBSD Kernel -> The Configuration File. 
# The handbook is available in /usr/share/doc/handbook or online as
# latest version from the FreeBSD World Wide Web server 
# <URL:http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/>;
#
# An exhaustive list of options and more detailed explanations of the 
# device lines is present in the ./LINT configuration file. If you are 
# in doubt as to the purpose or necessity of a line, check first in LINT.
