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).
