I assume you mean the configuration 0 in the Windows 95 property
page.  This is the default from the PnP configuration.  You must
have an error in your configuration information if IRQ 5 is taken
by something else.

What you probably ned to do is go into the PnP BIOS configuration
and tell it IRQ 5 is taken by an ISA card.

PS: If your BIOS doesn't know this, then FreeBSD isn't going
to be able to know it either...
