I am trying to install FreeBSD on an old laptop that used to run various
versions of Windows.  I have two problems...

1. The installation process appears not to see my PCMCIA cards.  Running
pccardd says "No PC-CARD slots".  That's a shame really, because my ethernet
card is essential.  How do I convince the system that there really are card
slots?

2. Resolution is not helped by the install process not showing the Kernel
Configuration Menu that is described in section 2.3.2 of the documentation.
How can I get to this menu to check my system configuration?

uname -a reports:
FreeBSD <hostname> 5.2.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE #0: <date>
root@wv1u.btc.adaptec.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386
