 If its anything like my Sony Viao Z505SX, then you need to switch the PCIC to
 ISA routing otherwize the machine will 'hang' as you described on the
 insertion of any PCMCIA cards.  To switch the PCIC into ISA IRQ routing, put
 the following into your /boot/loader.conf:
 
 hw.pcic.intr_path=1
 hw.pcic.irq=0
 
 When you do this, you need to tell pccardd(1) to assign an IRQ to the PCMCIA
 device that is free on your laptop.  ISA IRQ's cannot be shared with other
 devices. For example, on my laptop, IRQ 5 is free, so I have a line in
 /etc/pccard.conf that gives the IRQ as such:
 
 irq 5
