Someone asked this a while back. The explanation given was that PCI cards
are probed before ISA cards, so ed0 is reserved for an ISA card which
might be found by the ed driver.

That is unnecessary. Just use `device ed0 at pci?' for a PCI card.
Apparantly using `device ed? at pci?' will make it show up as ed0, but I'm
not bothered, ed1 is fine for me.

Why do you want it to? Are there problems with using ed1?
