Well! Well! Well! This becomes more interesting, wooow! I recompiled again this time using - device ed0 at isa? port 0x240 irq 5 iomem 0xd8000 device ed1 at isa? port 0x260 irq 9 iomem 0xc4000 note new iomem at 0xc4000, results the same, only ed0 recognized. I read somewhere that (oh!) the manual, p31, that onboard controllers may use memory w/ addresses between 0xa0000 and 0xeffff as iomem. I didn't see any apparent conflicts and made the choice shown arbitrarily.
