1.  Insert card in PC.
2.  Run 3C5X9CFG.EXE from DOS.
3.  Configure resources; note IRQ and port assigned.  Disable Plug & pray.
4.  Boot freebsd; modify the ep device to match the settings you derived
in #3.
5.  Be happy!

Do a ftp install and you'll be prompted for your numbers.  They'll be
plugged into your final system for you.
