  OK, now I'm confused...

  (1)  Why do I have to do a UserConfig if I've added the device to my
config file?

  (2)  When I did the UserConfig it was already enabled, I booted, and
FreeBSD didn't see it...

  (3)  When I did a UserConfig "visual" it was also already enabled, so
I exited, booted, and FreeBSD saw it...

  In neither case did I make any changes...

  What's going on?
