Please see also PR kern/55279 from Darren Henderson

I am also seeing this problem with if_ed.ko, though it is not causing any
functional difficulties, just the error messages.
relevant lines from kernel config:
# NOTE: Be sure to keep the 'device miibus' line in order to use these NICs!
device          miibus          # MII bus support

device          sis             # Silicon Integrated Systems SiS 900/SiS 7016
device          xl              # 3Com 3c90x (``Boomerang'', ``Cyclone'')

device          ed0     at isa? port 0x280 irq 10       #iomem 0xd8000
device          ed1     at isa? port 0x300 irq 5        #iomem 0xd8000

The box has 2 isa NE2000 nics using the ed driver (only nics in system).

and from dmesg:

As a workaround, try removing if_ed.ko from /modules.  This prevents the
errors for me (though possibly not the attempt to load it?).  I can't find
anything in the rc scripts which might be responsible for loading the module.
This setup works with RELENG_4_8 (no if_ed.ko module available),

Perhaps a problem with ed(4) as a kld?  It is a fairly recent MFC (post R_4_8)
