As it is an ISA cadr you will need to use ISApnp to set the resources.
Once you have done that you will be able to load the sb module and here the
wonderfull music.

pnpdump > fred.txt
now edit fred.xtx and set the 
IRQ, IOBASE DMA0 and DMA1 resources to the correct values.
isapnp < fred.txt
try locading your modules
modprobe sb io=0x... irq=. dma0= dma1=

Been a while sice I had to do it so command names and args to modprobe could
be wrong, howver the procuedure is correct.
