I'd suggest (once you exactly know what the cards are configured to -
io/irq/mem) you start the kernel (at the Boot: prompt) with
kernel -c and configure e.g. ed0/ed1 respectively by hand.
Later you can build a dedicated kernel. It also may possible that
the network card probes influence the card detection in some undesirable
way.
