What the information above tell you is that the kernel that
comes with the boot floppies is configured with the above parameters.
You can use 0x300 and IRQ 10 with iomem set at 0xcc000 to make the
installation of NetBSD on your machine. I am not sure, based on your
explanation, about whether you have completed the full installation or
not yet. Once the machine is installed with ed2 as your network
adapter you have to recompile the kernel and set the parameters as you
like for ed0. The file you need to edit (I am still running 0.9 so
this may have changed) is:
/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf/GENERICAHA
You can change ed0 to :
ed0 0x300 10 iomem 0xcc000
and recompile the kernel. This is done by doing a:
$ /usr/sbin/config GENERICAHA
$ cd ../compile/GENERICAHA
$ make depend
$ make
You will then have a new kernel with the proper configuration for the
ed0 device. All you have left to do is:
$ cp /netbsd /netbsd.old
$ mv /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERICAHA/netbsd /netbsd
$ fastboot
I hope this helps.

Sorry but I don't know anything about Netware
