You specify whether kernel.conf is loaded in /etc/defaults/loader.conf. However, I doubt this is your problem. You may want to check your kernel config file for a typo. You need to make sure that you have enabled controller pnp0 in your config file. Based on your config error, it sounds like you have specified a line such as "device pnp", which is not a recognized device (at least in 3.5.x) You will also need to make sure you have specified the correct parameters for your sound card and then recompile.
