Please provide any assistance in guiding me to the right direction.

I am trying to install v2.1 onto a Quantex Pentium120 PC. I have an Adaptec 
1542, DEC Ethernet, and Supra Modem cards.  On the SCSI I have a HD and a tape 
drive internally and externally I have an NEC CD Rom drive.

When I try to initiate the install 2.1 (not upgrade), from the floppy, after 
the install procedure detects all the devices correctly it is giving me the 
following error, which persists:

stray interrupt on ISA irq 6
fdc0: unexpected interrupt

There is no other device that is on irq 6 and the irq for the standard floppy 
controller cannot be changed.

I will appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Rama Kant
