: You may have better luck with:

: device sb0     at isa? port 0x240 conflicts irq 5 conflicts drq 1 vector sbintr
                              ^^^^^
: device sbxvi0  at isa? port 0x240 conflicts irq 5 conflicts drq 5 vector sbintr
: device sbmidi0 at isa? port 0x330

don't you mean 0x220 in my case?

: You have no io-address for your sbxvi0, and you must tell both that the
: io-address conflicts as well as the IRQ.  I'm a bit surprised that
: config allowed your settings.

actually, I have 2 machines with the same exact h/w configuration. Funnily
enough, one of them recognizes the sound card perfectly and the other
doesn't! Both are using the *same* kernel config (I ftp-ed it from the
working machine to the other). That makes the problem even worse. It's
not the sound card, and it's not the kernel config, so what else could be
wrong ? 

Someone emailed me about booting the PC into DOS/Win95 mode and then
soft-resetting it to BSD. I haven't tried that as yet. Might work...
