On 12-Nov-98 drochner@zel459.zel.kfa-juelich.de spoke unto us all:
#  alpha_shared_intr_establish: isa irq 3: warning: using edge-triggered on 
#  level-triggered
#  [...]
#  
#  This seems harmless, and NetBSD runs well... as long as I
#  use a serial console.

It's worth noting that both of the serial ports on my multia do this as well. 
I have no problems using the serial console however..  Perhaps that miata is
slightly more whiney about it..
