This shouldn't be the problem (although I can't categorically state that
it is not), since while the NetBSD driver knows about the second IDE drive
(because it saw it in a probe), it is not used anywhere in NetBSD.  It's
a DOS-only drive, and therefore has no NetBSD partition, nor does it
appear in /etc/fstab.

It really looks like the "ISA strayintr 7" message is related to my
trouble, because it is then and only then that I have problems.  I
plan to try configuring with the lpt device at that interrupt tonight.
I doubt that it will help, though.
