I use BFGminer and it locates BFL FPGA automatically

or you could... you know just start cgminer and let it track down the fpga itself.

Basically open notepad, put "cgminer -o http://your pool:pool port -u username -p password -S COM3" in the body of notepad (obviously changing info to match yours, you can get the COM # from the easyminer program). When you finish, SAVE AS and change from text file to all files and call the file whateveryouwant.bat. I have mine run automatically on startup in the event that the pc restarts for some strange reason.

make a .bat file with
cd c:\ (path to cgminer directory)
cgminer -o http://your pool:pool port -u username -p password -S COM3
com port may be different but usually is COM3
You can look up your com port in device manager. did you get the driver installed?
Also, the bfl alphaminer will tell you COM port number.

I always put the CGMiner folder in my root directory of my C: drive, but you can put it anywhere. Make a file called "BFL.bat" on your desktop, right click on it, and select edit. Add this in there:

:loop
C:\cgminer\cgminer-nogpu.exe -o POOLADDY:3333 -O USER:PASS
timeout /T 10
goto loop
Obviously add your pool's URL and your worker name and password, but you should be good to go. FPGA devices don't need nearly the same level of tweaking that GPUs do.
