Do you also have those (from a working i386 system):

# Linux support
options		COMPAT_LINUX		# Enable Linux ABI emulation
options		LINPROCFS		# Enable the linux-like proc filesystemsupport (requires COMPAT_LINUX and PSEUDOFS)
options		LINSYSFS		# Enable the linux-like sys filesystem support (requires COMPAT_LINUX and PSEUDOFS)
device		lindev
options		COMPAT_AOUT		# Enable i386 a.out binary support

(note PSEUDOFS is also needed)
