There's no need to keep rebuilding the kernel (as long as all the
sio's are enabled in the config file), just ``boot -c'' and change
the settings, or disable ports, there. e.g. this is what I need to
do to use my PnP sound card (I store the info in /kernel.config so
the settings automatically get added if I make a new kernel). I
need to set sio2 to IRQ 9, which is used by sio3 by default, so I
disable sio3, then set the IRQ for sio2 to 9
FreeBSD Kernel Configuration Utility - Version 1.1
Type "help" for help or "visual" to go to the visual
configuration interface (requires MGA/VGA display or
serial terminal capable of displaying ANSI graphics).
