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. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
