How about booting with -c and then:
port mcd0 0x340
irq mcd0 11
quit

Well, I am new to FreeBSD, but this was one of the first things I need
to figure out, because my SMC Ultra Ethernetcard is on IRQ 10 which 
FreeBSD did not expect. The good thing is, that FreeBSD reports the
-c settings, so you only have to do it once. 8-)
