Thanks -- that worked.

I'm afraid the card IS double probed.
I built and booted a kernel with the following in the config file:

controller	bt0
controller	bt1	at isa? port "IO_BT0" bio irq ? vector bt_isa_intr

The PCI probe found the card first as bt0; the ISA probe found it later as
bt1.  In the interest of minimizing possible damage to my file systems, I'm
afraid I hit the reset button while the bt1 portion was ``waiting for scsi
devices to settle'.
