You'll have to use that address unless you rebuild your kernel with a different address. There are two different addresses involved. The one you can jumper on the board is the ROM address which isn't relevant when BSD is running. You probably want to leave it at D800. The other one is the RAM address which is configured by the driver during system startup. This address is the one that defaults to D000 in the standard kernel, but as this isn't changable by jumpers you do not need to rebuild the kernel.
