This is a know bug, I think it has been fixed now: the 3c509b shows up
as both regular ISA and PnP board (in fact, 3com had some kind of PnP for their
boards, before the real PnP was normalised, the 3c509b use both).
What happens if you use ep0 instead of ep1 ?
Otherwise someone should be able to provide you a working boot floppy.
