Hi,
Have a look at the man page for the ed(4) driver.
man 4 ed

Try port 0x280 irq 10 in jumperless mode as per the man page. Just keep in mind that
irq 3 might be used by the com ports.

I normally check with dmesg if ed0 is available, and see if I can select it from /stand/sysinstall in networking. Do I have to change something in my rc.conf?? Please tell me the steps how I can get this working.

^^^^^^
mmm! This might explain your problem. Edit the /boot/kernel.conf file
and delete the "di ed0" line and see if this helps.

Could be that you configured the GENERIC kernel when you installed to
disable certain drivers, which are not in your custom kernel. Have a look
at /boot/kernel.conf file. It would also seem that you have disabled the
ed drive in the /boot/kernel.conf file.
