I did exactly that:

arktomis| sudo config -e -o bsd.mp.new /bsd.mp
OpenBSD 4.2 (GENERIC.MP) #251: Thu Aug 23 10:55:57 MDT 2007
    deraadt@i386.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC.MP
Enter 'help' for information
ukc> enable acpi
398 acpi0 enabled
ukc> quit
Saving modified kernel.

arktomis| sudo mv bsd bsd.original
arktomis| sudo ln -s bsd.mp.new ./bsd

mmh... I had a laptop with intel pro2200 and with iwi and the firmware
it was working perfectly... well, that's life

arktomis| mixerctl outputs.lineout=255,255
mixerctl: field outputs.lineout does not exist

I will have to look at these outputs a bit more in detail:
