We need this. I have the sysinstall patches from the PAO people. Plus I've started working on an all kernel design for what pccardd is now doing. This should obviate the need for pccardd on the floppies. There may be more hacking to sysinstall needed to get it to rescan devices, since it would be nice to be able to plug in devices at anytime, just just right after you booted the floppy. However, this is long term stuff. The short term plans I have are getting the pcic stuff working in the newbus framework, as well as including the initial patches from PAO to pccardd and sysinstall to at least give the snaps something that is easier to install on laptops. I had to jump through too many to get my machine up and running. Once I get the pccard stuff working, I may go after cardbus. Geeze, all of this so I can get the pccard support working in Soren's new driver so I can read/write compact flash cards on my FreeBSD machine so I can put them into a WinCE palmtop I have....
