>Release:        1.1
>Environment:
	Micronics 486DX/2-66 system, two 3Com 3C509B ethernet cards,
	running NetBSD/i386.
System: NetBSD aqua 1.1 NetBSD 1.1 (TGI) #121: Tue Jan 9 16:26:41 CST 1996 root@aqua:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/TGI i386


>Description:
	I recently got bit when I replaced a 3C503 in my system with a
	3C509B, giving me a total of two of the latter.  I config'ed a
	kernel with ep* instead of two separate ep0 and ep1 devices, and
	on boot, my machine panic'd.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Configure an ISA device using a "*"; for example:

	ahb* at isa? port ? irq ?	# Adaptec 174[024] SCSI controllers
	ep* at isa? port 0x300 irq ?	# 3C509 ethernet cards

	Compile the kernel.
	Run, kernel, run!
	See kernel panic.

>Fix:
I don't have a fix, but a more informative message would be helpful.
