That FAQ entry seems a bit outdated.
It was correct for FreeBSD 3.x, but FreeBSD 4.x does not have "controller
pnp0" and there is no longer any support for manual pnp-configuration
at boot time.

There are probably several other entries in the FAQ that were correct
when written but where the given answers no longer applies to current
software versions.
