I messed around with a configuration like this for a while, and finally
came up with these settings:

AHA-1542:
  Address 0x334-0x337
  IRQ 9
  DMA 5

SB16:
  Address 0x220-0x22f
  IRQ 5
  DMA 1,1

Also with these settings you can put the MPU at 0x300 if you want.

Bear in mind you will likely have to build a kernel with SB support.
