No you don't. If you have the ed0 device in your kernel, you can
edit the parameters at boot time. When you see the boot: prompt,
type "-c" (without the quotes) and press return. When you get the
config prompt, type "visual" and press return. Use the menus to
expand the network adapter list, position the cursor on ed0, and
press return.
You will now be able to edit the I/O address and IRQ for the ed0
driver; follow the prompts on the screen. When you've finished,
press q to quit the configuration editor, save your changes, and
boot. Your changes will be saved so they are always used, unless
you change them again.
