Things now work as I need them to. Cool. One reason we didn't do that is that it will take a long time to boot on some machines. The card init stuff takes approx 30 seconds in OLDCARD. : Now, I know the new card stuff is going to be very different, but will I : have the ability to get my aic drives up and running before swapon gets : run? Depending on how things are planned to work, I'd suggest adding : some sort of flag by which devices that need to get going earlier, such : as aic, can be probed for separately (and earlier) than those that need : to be brought up later, for whatever reasons. Well, NetBSD kinda supports having root on a pccard device, if the ROMs support it. I say kinda, because it supports 1 card, but not two last time I checked. NEWCARD, which is a port from NetBSD, will have at most a couple of seconds of delays and won't need pccardd to be running to do device attachment.
