You might need to define a hint to use the KCS interface via
device.hints. I don't remember the incantation exactly, but I think it
was required for some Dells. ipmi(4) should have more info.
Failing that, a BMC upgrade/downgrade might be required (some vendors
don't test out BMC firmware upgrades really well, esp. in FreeBSD).
