Since te 600E does not use the INTEL ICH chips, the devices to use are:
device sound
device snd_csa

You need to edit /sys/conf/files and then build your kernel. You must
also edit /boot/device.hints before booting the new kernel. Device hints
are loaded at boot time.

No. It's ".".
*default release=cvs tag=.
"." means the head of the CVS tree and it is referred to as HEAD. That
gets you CURRENT. Once 5.3 is declared STABLE, the tag will be
"RELENG_5". RELENG_5 will be a branch on the CVS tree and HEAD will
become the beginning of V6 (and this will become CURRENT.
