Maybe the kernel only knows about IRQ 10 for that type of card. See
below.

Reserve IRQ 10 for "Legacy ISA" (or whatever the Non-PnP/PCI setting
is called) in the BIOS setup, so no PCI card or ISA-PnP card will get
IRQ 10.

Also, for many ISA cards, the IRQ cannot be probed reliably, so after
setting the IRQ of the card with a DOS program, be sure the NetBSD
kernel knows a card of that type with the correct
I/O-IRQ-combination. This may mean that you have to build a custom
kernel first.
