BTW There's a *BSD article in April edition of German CT Mag.
(Not read it, mag. was far too heavy to shove in pocket & cycle home with,
but extensive coverage of FreeBSD though. :-)

Well I've never neeeded to tell my ancient 486 mboard anything about
reserving stuff :-) ... But years ago I had a problem configuring that card
too, it's been OK since I did though.
my dmesg says:
ed0 at 0x240-0x25f irq 15 maddr 0xcc000 msize 16384 on isa
ed0: address 00:00:c0:fd:73:2e, type WD8013EPC (16 bit)
A concept to grasp is:
you can hard jumper it, or config it with a dos program,
which talks over a port address,
you can also reconfig the port address,
so you can cut off the branch of the tree you'r seated sawing wood from,
so to speak :-)
(at which point you don't chuck it away like I heard some crazy did :-)
you, just rejumper to a hard config port,
then run the dos stuff again)
I suspect also years ago the FreeBSD (or even 386BSD back then) code may have
reprogrammed my port at boot, so
I think in the end I discovered it safer not to leave the jumper in the soft
programmable position.
I append my comments out of my config file in case it helps
