Actually, this isn't necessary. All you need to do is know what your card is set to (assuming it doesn't conflict with anything else). You can re-configure the port, IRQ and memory address used by FreeBSD from within the configuration editor when you first load the kernel. It's a good idea to disable all the probes for hardware that you don't have as well - it speeds up the boot (especially if you disable SCSI and IDE disks that you don't have), and reduces the risk that an probe for non-existent hardware will disturb the hardware in your system (this should not occur in any case, but YMMV with cheap clones).
