My bad. I thought you wrote it was an ISA card, but that was Kevin,
making an observation: "OK, he's got a Kingston (generally dc driver)
and is trying to do sysinstall and d-load over NIC. IME it doesn't
matter what you pick in the "configuration" section of sysinstall
whatever's first should work, because those are just old nonPNP ISA
NIC drivers."
I inferred that the NIC was ISA, where Kevin wrote that the driver
is ISA.
You might have to, yes. See below.

OK, you disabled things with conflicting IRQs and other not-needed-here
stuff. Good.

I'm not sure what this should be, but I've seem "chip1" entries occur
when there's hardware that the kernel isn't prepped for. ICH chipsets come
to mind, for instance.
This shouldn't be "fatal", and probably isn't related to your NIC.

There's your dc(4) driver trying to initialize. I don't know what the
"6" return value specifically is, but it can't set up its I/O. This
leads me to believe that yes, you may have to twiddle ISA/PnP settings
in your BIOS.
In BIOS, you should be able to zero in on the PCI bus stuff easily enough.
Within that, several slot options. I can't tell you specifically what to
look for or change though; different BIOSes use different words and phrases
to describe the same things. A shot in the dark: Disable Plug-n-Play.
Best I can offer. G'Luck, and don't give up yet.
Dave
