This means that pccardd has enough : time to do its thing and find the devices. So the system behaves more like : the pcmcia devices were found during the system device probe. That's why -z is a good idea. It delays the boot process slightly, but makes sure that your nic cards are probed early in the boot process so sendmail, et al will have a better chance of working.
