One more bit of info:  this PC (Dell Dimension R450) has a Phoenix BIOS, 
which has a setting "Plug-n-Play OS? Yes/No".  Changing it from No to Yes 
made the kernel find the AWE64.  Unfortunately changing that setting also 
made the 3C905B NIC quit working:

xl0: <3Com 3c905B-TX Fast Etherlink XL> irq 11 at device 13.0 on pci0
xl0: couldn't map ports/memory
device_probe_and_attach: xl0 attach returned 6

Another oddity:  Although the AWE64 gets picked up by the pcm driver, 
pnpinfo still only shows the PnP modem - no mention of the AWE64.
