I am posting this for a friend who doesnt have internet access, so 
the details will be sketchy:

He is trying to install FreeBSD from the December 1993 Walnut Creek
CD-ROM on a Noname 486DX 33 with 16Mb of RAM. The disk controller
is a Ultrastor 34S, and the video card is a ET4000 chipset.

When it is installing the error message

ISA STRAYINTR 7 

appears, and it refuses to go any further. He has taken all the cards using
interrupt 7 out of the machine, and disabled the printer port (which also
used interupt 7).

Any ideas ?
