 I got the same problem with 3c589D on IBM TP755CX laptop. Perhaps you can
 try to disable all LPT* using BIOS, then try installing it again, if you
 got any message like 'stray interrupt 7', just disregard it , I think you
 will successfully install NetBSD 1.3 now, and yes, the problem is still a
 problem although.
 
 Please tell me the io ports and irqs using by LPT0-LPT2 in your hardware
 setting and the messages you now get.
