I haven't finished the code for this yet :-)

Eventually all FreeBSD PnP (Isa PNP I mean), will just read the settings 
from the isa_device structure.  In the meantime, if you look at the PnP 
configuration code, after the CSN is set- You can read the registers for 
IRQ/DRQ/etc (instead of setting them, as I do now).

If would like to wait a couple of days, I'll cleanup some of the code I 
have now and send it to you...
