It's best to ask/answer technical questions in questions@FreeBSD.org I don't think compiling a custom kernel will help for plug and play cards. Try setting your computer BIOS to non plug and play OS. I haven't used windows2000 myself so I don't know if it will need the BIOS set to plug and play OS, though I guess It'll be OK. Ask in questions@FreeBSD.org to be sure.
