I'll bet you're using a 3c509 in a box w/a Micronics PCI motherboard.
Some of these reserve IRQ 15 for PCI cards.  BSD/OS puts ISA 3c509
cards there by default.  

Rebuild your kernel and put the ef0 driver at a different irq (making
sure its a free irq) or just use command line args to the kernel upon
bootup to achieve the same effect.  The lizzard book explains how to
do this.
