You have to change a 2 to a 6 in the kernel source tree and to compile a
new kernel. The interrupt is hardcoded into the kernel.

Change in /usr/src/sys/arch/amiga/dev/if_ed.c in line 282 from:
[you have to addjust /usr to where ever you untar the sys tarfiles to]

sc->sc_isr.isr_ipl = 2;

to:

sc->sc_isr.isr_ipl = 6;

Then do this [assuming that you are now in the arch/amiga/dev directory]:

cd ../conf
config GENERIC
cd ../compile/GENERIC
make depend
make
mv /netbsd /onetbsd
cp netbsd /

Now, you can reboot and your ASDG should now work.
