Gunnar-

This could also be an irq conflict.  What if you break into the
userconfig option and change the pcic0 irq from 10 to 0 .. to
put the pcic in polling mode.  A lot of the problems with sysinstall
and pccard irq issues have been helped out since 4.1 was released.
I would recommend trying to use 4.2-R or even better a more recent
snapshot of 4.2-STABLE.

You could try installing 4.2-R using

ftp://ftp.se.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.2-RELEASE/

and the relevant floppy images in floppies directory. (It even came
up pretty fast from my home DSL in US).

HTH,
