Thanks - I had earlier managed to turn it on by booting using the "-c" option
and then typing the pnp command as documented in pcm(4). However, the above
was even more promising because now I no longer have to boot in a "special"
way. Unfortunately the above feature doesn't seem to be documented (couldn't 
find it in manpages, handbook or tutorial). By the way, creating the above
/boot/kernel.conf file wasn't enough - the /boot/defaults/loader.conf by 
default doesn't read /boot/kernel.conf; I had to create a /boot/loader.conf
containing a 'userconfig_script_load="YES"' line to make it read
/boot/kernel.conf.
