So, I want to install NetBSD 1.0 on my system.  I've downloaded
the various packages that I need, and built the boot and install
floppies.  The only problem is that the ed driver expects the
card to be on irq9, not the irq5 that I have it configured for.

Since changing the card configuration is not an option, does
anybody have an suggestions about how to boot so the net is
accessible?
