In the GENERIC kernel config file you have:
ne*     at pcmcia? function ?           # NE2000-compatible Ethernet
ne0     at isa? port 0x280 irq 9                # NE[12]000 ethernet cards
ne1     at isa? port 0x300 irq 10       

ne* will take the first instance available, which is 2 (because 0 and 1 are
hardwired on the isa bus). If you remove ne0 and ne1 at isa, the first instance
available is 0 ...
Maybe adjustkernel could be smarter on this and change
ne*     at pcmcia? function ?
to:
ne2     at pcmcia? function ?
ne*     at pcmcia? function ?
