Open the .map file with wordpad or similar program and at the bottom of the text file add the text below for each nation you want to specify starting locations for:

#specstart [nationnmber] [provnumber]

Example:

#specstart 1 241
(specifies that EA Ermor is to start in province number 241)

Note: nation numbers for each era can be found in the mapedit.pdf in the doc directory.

I believe #specstart will overide any terrain masks such as no-start that some maps use to indicate starting/no starting provinces, but if so you can either go in the editor and uncheck no-start or find the province in the terrain list and remove the "512" terrain mask. Be aware the map editor will erase any specstarts you add to a file, so if you make any changes via the editor, be sure to go back and add them.
