missing /dev/sequencer and /dev/midi under 5.4

Hello,
I'm running FreeBSD 5.4 with a custom kernel on a Dell Inspiron 6000 - the
Dell website only says "SoundBlaster compatible" for the sound card.
Normal sound stuff works fine (though I can't hear the cd player, actually,
now that I think of it...) but midi doesn't work: kmidi complains
that /dev/sequencer is busy, but actually it doesn't exist, and neither
does /dev/midi.
I guess I need to enable midi in the kernel, but what device / options?
device pcm
device snd
device seq
device midi
all give me "unknown device" errors at compile time: here's the relevent
section of my kernel config file:
device sound # generic sound driver: these added...
device "snd_ad1816"
device "snd_als4000"
#device "snd_au88x0"
device snd_cmi
device "snd_cs4281"
device snd_csa
device "snd_ds1"
device "snd_emu10k1"
device "snd_es137x"
device snd_ess
device "snd_fm801"
device snd_gusc
device snd_ich
device snd_maestro
device "snd_maestro3"
device snd_mss
device snd_neomagic
device "snd_sb16"
device "snd_sb8"
device snd_sbc
device snd_solo
device "snd_t4dwave"
device "snd_via8233"
device "snd_via82c686"
device snd_vibes
#device "snd_vortex1"
device snd_uaudio
I'm sure I don't need all this stuff in there, but I haven't got round to
experimenting with what I can take out. Could that be my problem?
Thanks in anticipation for your help...
Cheers,
Ben
