I think there is a way to set the IRQ and address at boot time by getting
into the -d debugger. But I haven't done it yet - although I need to try
it for my old HP-PC_LAN+ ISA card.

It should be "wscons" (not "WCCONS").
So your /etc/rc.conf could end with:
wscons=YES
Then edit your /etc/ttys, so ttyE1, ttyE2, ttyE3 are "on" (instead of
"off").
See http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/wscons/
Sorry, I don't know about WS_CONFIGURE.
Good luck,
