My normal way is to run the kldload in screen and manually run an allow all
right afterwards
e.g.

kldload ipfw && ipfw ... :)

I think you may want to check the age of that handbook site,
especially as the linux emulation part mentions stuff about installing
on 2.1-STABLE so the issue you're asking about is probably no longer
an issue in the first place.

Unfortunately that's just the older MIPS based ones, the RaQ4 and 550
were x86 based but with a very weird BIOS (I know it'd be possible to
install onto them, I just don't think anyone's thought it worthwhile yet
:) )

Doesn't the RaQ 550 have a basic Linux kernel in it's flash? I worked
with them at my last job, I don't remember hearing about anyone who'd
managed to get anything except linux working on it though (though I'm
sure someone must have!)

For me the uftdi driver works nicely under -current using 20 ukp serial

Also if he wants to check if OS SSE support is enabled, he can check if
the hw.instruction_sse sysctl is set to 1, then he'll know if it's safe
to use :)

My floppies will be vanishing entirely, after I've finished copying all
my Amiga floppies onto HD as adf files (of course, there's the problem
that loads are corrupt by now, but most still work much to my surprise!).

I didn't see any, here's what's on the various chips on it if this helps:
1)
TOPIC
TP560i
9935S14
D7S82.1

2) (my guess is a mem chip)
HMC
HM62H256DJ-12
9815A D84B1 

3) The biggest chip on the board
EON EN29F002NT
-70P
0021

So was I, I just found it advertised as Linux compatible and took a

Please don't remove the SurfRider one:
sio0:  port 0xa400-0xa407 irq 12 at device 10.0 on pci0
sio0: moving to sio2
sio2: type 16550A
