Eric, I appreciate all your effort in helping me get this far. I totally overlooked the =Yes="Yes" bit. Its what I get for trying to do to many things at once. I corrected the rc.conf file, and removed the irq line in the pccard.conf file adding 9 to the list of IRQs. (IRQ 9 is what Win2K uses when I boot with that OS). Now, when I boot its attempting to start the pccard daemon, but it returns card0: device not configured. When I type: pccardd from the command line it returns a 'fatal error: No PC-CARD slots' Any pointers on where I go to configure the card? I do see the controllers at the top of the dmesg, but I'm not sure if the error message is referring to the PCCards, or the controller. Does card0 refer to the pccard controller or the first PCMCIA slot?
