Ok, I've now put my old motherboard back into my machine and I
no longer have those pesky stray interrupts.
Just so that other people can avoid buying a bad motherboard,
here is the info on my bad one:
name: MINI 486 ISA-VL
model #: S7023-001 (there's also a number on the back of the
board: S4815-001-01 REV A)
chipset: SIS 85C460 ATQ (c) 1992 (there's only 1 chip in this set)
BIOS: AMI 486DX ISA (c) 1992
description: it's a mini 486 motherboard with 2 VESA LB slots,
3 16bit slots and 2 8 bit slots. The CPU socket is
a ZIF (zero insertion force).
Now that I'm back to square one, can anyone recommend a motherboard
that works correctly with 386BSD (ie has no stray interrupts).
