An IRQ conflict with an Adaptec 1522 SCSI controller could cause this
problem, or it could just be that we have three NE2000 devices at the
same I/O port. In the latter case, you probably want to build a
kernel for your machine. Right now the best way to build a kernel is
to use a union mount:
mkdir /u1/build
mount_union -b /usr/src /u1/build
cd /u1/build/sys/arch/i386/conf
cp ATHENAADP MYKERNELNAME
<edit MYKERNELNAME, remove the devices you don't want>
config MYKERNELNAME
cd ../compile/MYKERNELNAME
make depend
make
mv /netbsd /onetbsd
cp netbsd /netbsd
shutdown -r now
