pccard is not compiled into the boot.flp kernel so a net install
won't work.

If you install from CD or from a DOS partition you can then build a
kernel with pccard support and it seems to work just fine.  Installing
3.0 from a DOS partition seems to require a 2.2.[78] boot.flp, at
least it did for me and I found a similar report on freebsd-mobile.

Sending this from a laptop I just got done installing 2.2.8 on
(slogin'd to my desktop)
