The position of each register is the same.  Perhaps, the address pin of
the board has been changed.  And, FreeBSD guys is calling the function
isa_alloc_resourcev() for this. This is a function that exists for PC98. 

(see ed98_alloc_port().)
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/ed/if_ed_cbus.c?rev=1.27&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

For instance, LA98 is mapped in base-address + 0x?000. 

  /* LA/T-98, LD-BDN, PC-9801-77, SB-9801 */
  static	    bus_addr_t ed98_ioaddr_la98[] = {
	    0x0000, 0x1000, 0x2000, 0x3000, 0x4000, 0x5000, 0x6000, 0x7000,
	    0x8000, 0x9000, 0xa000, 0xb000, 0xc000, 0xd000, 0xe000, 0xf000,
	    0x0100  /* for NEC 77(see below) */
  };

I use attribute 'pc98peripheral' and 'pc98clitical'.  Should I prepare
the bus besides this?

Thanks,
