I have both a BT-742A and a AHA-1742A in this system.  For the 742A
I get:

    bt0 at 0x330 irq 11 drq 5 on isa

and for the 1742A I get:

    ahb0 at 0x2000 irq 12 on isa

at boot-up.  Is this what you are refering to?  I believe this is
normal.  (Both cards are working fine.)  BTW: this is on FreeBSD 1.0R.
