No reason to worry. The ed driver traditionally was for ISA cards only (NE2k clones and others). It was later extended to work for so-called PCI NE2k clones, too. When you have "device ed0" in your kernel config file, it will reserve "ed0" for an ISA card. So when it finds a PCI card, it will get the nex free slot assigned, which is "ed1". Later it tries to probe for ed0 (ISA), but doesn't find one (unless you also happen to have an ISA NE2k card); it then prints "ed0 not found at 0x280" or something similar (may- be only during a verbose boot, though). I think the behaviour was changed recently (in -current?), so your first ed device will always be 0, no matter whether ISA or PCI.
