The problem is that the Cyclades board does not use any I/O ports.
so apparently the FreeBSD stuff defaults to a port of 0 for each
card, and hence the conflict.
I asked the "knowledgable_ones@freebsd" what to do about this and
never received an answer.
I can think of two possible solutions:
1. to each driver entry add a 'port 0xXXX', where XXX is some
unused location. XXX should be different for each cyb entry.
2. depending on your rev of FreeBSD either
add 'option ALLOW_IO_CONFLICTS' to your kernel conf.
or add
cyb1 port 0 conflict ...
to your kernel conf.
