I'm sorry if that came across as antagonizing, it was not intended
that way.

Ah, sorry, my minis don't have onboard bt/wifi cards, so I didn't
realize it was the onboard one.

Absolutely nothing in dmesg (no "not configured" or anything)?  Boot
with -v (verbose)?  Have you tried drvctl(8) and usbdevs(8)?

Since I don't have them, I'm not sure how/if the BT should be seen
from OFW.  ofctl(8) should print you the OFW device tree, e.g.

...

ff9a1ca8:     /usb@1b
ff9a9f38:     /usb@1b,1
ff9d8028:       /disk@1
ff9b21c8:     /usb@1b,2
