Here's a better way.  Boot the kernel with option -d.  Inside DDB edit
the autoconfiguration tables:

x/xla loc,100

Record the offsets of fields with 0x280 in them.  There are three ISA
network cards in the GENERIC kernel with this address.  Change them to
the correct address for your cards:

w/l loc+<offset> <address>

You will also have to change the IRQs:

w/l loc+<offset>+0x10 <irq>

Continue booting.

Writing kernel hooks for DDB to dump and edit the autoconf tables
would be trivial.
