Please get new pccard-test package and install it. This PCMCIA-ready installation floppy is based on this package. The URL is ftp://bash.cc.keio.ac.jp/pub/os/FreeBSD/alpha-test/pccard-test/pccard-test-960207.tar.gz Okay, I will try to incorporate this package into the installation floppy (but the size of the floppy will exceed 1.2MB --- almost all laptop has 1.44MB floppy, so it won't cause any problem) and modify sysinstall to copy this package to target HDD automatically. You can get the latest information/status of this package from http://www.mt.cs.keio.ac.jp/person/hosokawa/freebsd-pcmcia/ (FreeBSD PCMCIA Driver Page) Thank you for your report. -- HOSOKAWA, Tatsumi E-mail: hosokawa@mt.cs.keio.ac.jp WWW homepage: http://www.mt.cs.keio.ac.jp/person/hosokawa.html Department of Computer Science, Keio University, Yokohama, Japan
