How was the kernel message (dmesg)?
Some error messages may have appeared in it.
I guess that you've still used sound.o for OSS sequencer device.
After trying to load snd-ossseq.o, please take a look at the result of 
lsmod.  If you have it, unload modules, uncomment the relevant lines
(involving with sound.o) in /etc/conf.modules, and load modules
again.

They are not necessary unless you need to change the values.
Anyway, the module options should look like:

	options snd-ossseq maxlen=1024 oss_queue=7

Also, please note that so far only AWE32/64 wave synth can run as
"synth" devices on the OSS sequencer emulation.  The other raw MIDI
devices are accessed as "external MIDI" devices.
