The restorecd uses stock i386 GENERIC kernel so it would be better
to ask about Parallels on port-i386, but did you choose "Disable ACPI"
on boot menu or not? Is it really attimer0 (which is at isa0),
not attimer1 (at acpi0)?

If it's one at isa0, it might be worth to disable isapnp0 on
userconf prompt:
- select "5. Drop to boot prompt" on boot menu
- "boot -c" on the ">" prompt on bootloader
- "disable isapnp0" and "quit" at "uc>" prompt on userconf(4)
