I use NetBSD, not FreeBSD, so I may not be much help, but...  Seems to
me you have the wrong kernel.  It looks to me like it's trying to
start up the Adaptec driver.  Do you have a kernel with "bt" in the
name (like freebsd-ahbbt or 386bsd-bt or something along those lines)?

That would be where I'd look first...
