According to the RH 6.0 installation guide:
ncr53c406a=io_port,[,IRQ[,FASTPIO]]
and according to the source (in lk 2.3.51):
* LILO command line usage: ncr53c406a=<PORTBASE>[,<IRQ>[,<FASTPIO>]]
* Specify IRQ = 0 for non-interrupt driven mode.
* FASTPIO = 1 for fast pio mode, 0 for slow mode.
These are the auto-probed ports (but autoprobing may be disabled):
{ 0x230, 0x330, 0x280, 0x290, 0x330, 0x340, 0x300, 0x310, 0x348, 0x350 }
looks like 0x330 is the default (use "cat /proc/ioports" to
see if some other piece of hardware has grabbed that port).
Then there's the possibility of an interrupt clash that
can be ruled out by using a value of 0 in the second option
as shown above.
The Symbios boot line for the similiarly numbered sym53c416 is:
* LILO command line usage: sym53c416=<PORTBASE>[,<IRQ>]
