Two ways:

1. When your system starts booting, enter -c at the Boot: prompt. This
   will put you in the config> utility where you can add a driver for
   your soundcard (type help at config>, or take a look at the
   /pub/FreeBSD/2.1.0-RELEASE/HARDWARE.TXT)

2. Recompile your kernel. Take a look at the sound card section of
   /sys/i386/conf/LINT, and copy the lines related to your sound card into
   your kernel config file, and recompile the kernel. If you change any of the
   settings (like irq, drq, etc.), do not forget to update
   /sys/i386/isa/sound/sound_config.h
   There's more information in the FreeBSD handbook (somewhere at the
   beginning of the System Administration section).

Hope this helps,
Rosty.
