It is not practical to put _all_ of the supported hardware into the
GENERIC kernel.
The code for matcd(4) is still in FreeBSD-STABLE. Add it to a custom
kernel configuration file,
device matcd0 at isa? port 0x230
And build a new kernel.
If you have trouble finding the device with the new kernel, please
direct questions on the topic to freebsd-questions@freebsd.org or
another appropriate list.
