I assume you mean the Western Digital 8003? We have a stack
of those here and love to put them in machines to install NetBSD
because it _always_ works. I belive ours are set to IRQ 5, although
I know I've used one on 7.
On all this configuration stuff...FreeBSD has a feature
(which I think NetBSD should have) that at the boot prompt you
can tell it to boot "/kernel -c", -c for "Configure". It then
dumps you out to a little prompt where you can display the
locations it will probe for your hardware, and or individually
probe hardware...
