I believe this is fixed in the version of discover1 that went into
sarge last night.  Discover was instructed to not probe paralell and
serial ports at boot time, but there was a bug making it ignore this
instruction.  Please test if this is fixed or not, and add info to bug
#237603 (and possibly #214790).

I do not know if this is fixed in version 2 of discover.  I suspect it
is not.
