When you first installed FreeBSD and configured the generic kernel, the  
configuration was stored in /boot/kernel.conf'. This file is applied on each  
reboot. My guess is you have since build a lean customized kernel, which does  
not contain devices anymore you don't have. So you can now use a mostly empty  
kernel.conf. I don't know what the proper procedure is, but this worked for me:

cd /boot
mv kernel.conf kernel.conf.orig
echo "q" >kernel.conf
