Not from scratch. At last I've not seen a laptop with this feature, but I have seen some embedded systems that could do this. : Or at least to mount directories like /usr by nfs? : The pccards are probed AFTER mounting filesystems, can this be changed? : I have a 3com 589D and 4.0-CURRENT. Well, you'd have to try hard to do this. Enough hacking on /etc/rc could likely make this work. pccardd can run after / has been mounted r/w (maybe even while it is still r/o). It doesn't need anything in /usr. So if you have a local /, then you might be able to do that. NEWCARD will likely change this...
