Let's say your 2 non-pnp isa cards are ne2000 compatible, a GENERIC kernel
would expect their IRQ/IO settings to be:

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

So, have you tried setting them to the above? Else what does /kern/msgbuf
about cards, and what does ifconfig -a tell you?

Cheers,
