By this do you mean that when you have the card in the system, FreeBSD
booted and you kldload the driver, you don't see kernel messages showing
the appropriate attach messages? Is anything printed?

As Daniel and Warner already stated, the PCI rescan is automatic. This
is more likely an identification or driver mismatch problem. Please
provide the following:
- The exact make and model of the HBA card.
- The exact version of FreeBSD you're using.
- Which driver you're trying to use.
This information will allow us to nail down possible reasons why the
attach is not occuring.
