There are two things you need to watch for:

    - Your selection of the memory buffer address of the ethernet card
      is not stepping upon video memory.

    - You must modify /etc/conf/sdevice.d/wdn0 to account for the fact
      that this card has twice the memory of the WD8003.  For example,
      if you select `d0000' as the start address, your end address must
      be `d3fff' and not `d1fff'.
