Bingo! Now my network card works. Although an interesting side effect of
this setting is, that my VGA card is now recognized as an ISA CGA card:

vga-pci0: <S3 Trio graphics accelerator> irq 11 at device 15.0 on pci0
vga0: <Generic ISA VGA> at port 0x3d0-0x3db iomem 0xb8000-0xbffff on isa0
sc0: <System console> on isa0
sc0: CGA <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x200>

Huh? vidcontrol now fails to set the console font, because CGA cards don't
support that. Strange :)
