If you're using the GENERIC kernel or one you built the ed0 device into, Just type '-c' at the Boot: prompt and configure ed0. If not, you'll need to build a kernel with the device ed0 ... line in it. The reference line is in GENERIC or LINT. For this case, just change the settings to match your card (the memio parameter doesn't apply to NE2000 compatible cards, just leave it at the default).
