PNP Crystal soundcard detection problem in 5.1Release

Hello,

I am having problem with initializing my PnP Crystal soundcard on DellLatitude 
CPi notebook under FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE

Windows detected it as CS4236/37/38 chipset card, irq 5 dma 1,0

When I add to kernel konfiguration (according to handbook advise for my cardtype) 
...
device pcm
device csa
...

After installing new kernel and rebooting i get message 
"Can't open /dev/dsp!" (therefore device node is not created)

Same thing is for generic soundcard support "device pcm" in kernel configuratuion 
file

#dmesg gives something like this:
...
unknown: <PNP0c01> can't assign resources (port)
unknown: <PNP0000> can't assign resources (port)
unknown: <PNP0303> can't assign resources (port)
unknown: <PNP0f13> can't assign resources (irq)
speaker0: <PC speaker> at port 0x61 on isa0
unknown: <PNP0501> can't assign resources (port)
sio4: <SMCf010> at port 0x300-0x307,0x2e8-0x2ef irq 3 drq 3 on isa0
sio4: type 16550A
unknown: <PNP0401> can't assign resources (port)
unknown: <CSC0000> can't assign resources (irq)
unknown: <PNP0700> can't assign resources (port)
...

I suspect that this message has to do with my soundcard.

I've tryed to call "kldload snd_driver"
#kldstat gives:
 1   34 0xc0100000 3c9c58   kernel
 2    1 0xc04ca000 31d4     snd_driver.ko
 3    2 0xc04ce000 8404     snd_maestro3.ko
 4    1 0xc1301000 4000     logo_saver.ko
 5    1 0xc146d000 18000    linux.ko
but still nothing is played with same message , i.e. 
"Can't open /dev/dsp!" 

Then I've tryed to initialize card in kernel as ISA, adding following line:
device pcm0 at isa? irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x0

but after issuing command (ROMAN is the name of configuration file): 
#config ROMAN 
config: ROMAN:135: devices with zero units are not likely to be correct
IMHO last difficultie is not connected with soundcard detection process itself, 
but I've copied configuration line from handbook and for some reason config keeps 
failing.

Thank you for any help!
Best regards,
