I can't tell you step-by-step what you need to do, but I can tell you
that FreeBSD is probably looking in the wrong place for the card.
You need to either set the card to match FreeBSD's idea of where it
is, or else tell FreeBSD where it is.  The FreeBSD default for the aic
controller is port 0x340 irq 11.

You can set the jumpers on the card to port 0x340 irq 11, assuming
nothing else in your system is using those parameters, or you can
recompile the FreeBSD kernel with the appropriate parameters supplied
to the aic driver, or you can adjust the parameters using the kernel
userconfig before you boot the system.  The latter is the easiest
thing to do.  Just hit a key before the kernel boots (when the loader
tells you to), then type 'boot -c' to get into userconfig.
