More informations about my problem:
When booting either a Pentium or a 486 DX2:

ed2: irq mismatch; kernel configured 10 != board configured 9

(jumpers set to 10!)
This config is working fine with DOS or with Linux that recognize
the IRQ 10 setting via jumpers. The card is a WD8013. I tried also with
a WD8003, set via jumpers to IRQ 5 (the only available choices are 3 
or 5 for this card) and the message was the same:

ed2: irq mismatch; kernel configured 10 != board configured 5

Other "strange thing":
When booting with the distribution diskette, sometimes the machine
waits after the boot prompt (:-), sometimes no!

Last, is there some documentation decribing the meaning of the various 
during-boot messages:

sea0: board typeunknown at address 0xf8ae6000
....
ie0: unknown AT&T board type code 15
....
