If you have Win98 on this box, you should write down all of the io port
settings these devices are using.  Then you have to match these values in
your kernel config file.

For example:
ne0     at isa? port 0x280 irq 9                # NE[12]000 ethernet cards
ne1     at isa? port 0x300 irq 10

If your "NE2000 compatible" is on a different io port / irq combination it
will never be found.

For the CDROM, if the soundcard is providing an IDE port, you will probably
need create a line like this:
	wdc2    at isa? port 0xXXX irq X flags 0x00

Where 'X' is replaced by the values you find in Windows.
