The following reply was made to PR kern/4847; it has been noted by GNATS.

What happens is that the BIOS on your box does something special so that it looks like a legacy-ISA device, but Win95 'screws up' this mapping, so when you boot into FreeBSD the PCI stuff is probably hosed up. Hopefully we'll get better 'PCI/PCMCIA' controller support in FreeBSD. (I'm working on PCMCIA stuff this weekend, but not on that particular item, although it's on my white-board.) Nate
