first thing... do the nics have boot proms in it? if they don't then as far as i know, the iomem won't affect anything... what does ifconfig -a give you? did you add 'ed1' to your network interfaces in rc.conf? i recently had a problem with an NE2000 nic in a NEC which had onboard video and sound that used most of the irq's... i got around it somehow by defining the same nic with different irq settings in the kernel.
