Ahh.. oh dear.. No brainer on my part, I am running -current, and you (I
guess) aren't :)

Remove the 'options         USERCONFIG_BOOT' line and delete the stuff I told 
you to add from kernel.config. You will have to boot -c after you rebuild your 
kernel and type the stuff I gave you in by hand. Not only type in the lines 
beginning with 'pnp ...' 

Hopefully that should work..
