These devices are not really found; the messages you see are spewage
from their respective probe routines.  I have submitted a PR
(port-i386/2108) that shuts them up.  Probe routines should print
nothing, in order to avoid confusion like you're experiencing.  The
only exception would be if you define a driver-specific *DEBUG
option (e.g. IEDEBUG).

Sorry I can't help you with your kernel-panic problem; but at least
now you know that these messages aren't part of it.  To verify, try
booting a kernel with all sea?, mcd?, and ie? devices removed.
