I assume you mean that you tried something like: machdep.pccard.mem_start=0xd0000 in the FreeBSD boot loader before getting into sysinstall. It might be worth trying the same thing with a few other values -- 0xcc000, 0xd4000, 0xd8000 just in case the machine is happy with one of those. Probably not relevant, but you can also tweak machdep.pccard.pcic_irq in the loader, in case your PCCard controller is using an IRQ that conflicts with something else. Are you able to try any other PC cards in this machine? Are you getting any meesages from the xe driver on any of your virtual consoles? It should be recognising the Intel card as a Xircom CE3 clone, but this may be some odd variation of the hardware that it doesn't know how to deal with.
