Umm, the 'D' version is meantioned as 'un-supported' in HARDWARE.TXT I believe. In any case, there is support for it in newer boot disks, check releng22.FreeBSD.org for some. > Also, the computer uses a DataBook DB86082 PCMCIA controller chip.

Probably. > Regarding the scsi controller Where did you read that FreeBSD supported the PCMCIA SCSI card? Stock FreeBSD doesn't support it, although the PAO boot floppy does.
