The messages suggest that it is impossible, so it seems, as the card is not detected quick enough: Jan 4 18:53:36 baby /kernel: lpt0: Interrupt-driven port Jan 4 18:53:36 baby /kernel: Mounting root from ufs:/dev/wd0s1a Jan 4 18:53:36 baby /kernel: pccard: card inserted, slot 0 Jan 4 18:53:35 baby pccardd[45]: Ether=00:00:51:c6:00:00 Jan 4 18:53:40 baby /kernel: ed1 at port 0x300-0x31f irq 3 slot 0 on pccard0 Jan 4 18:53:41 baby /kernel: ed1: address 00:c0:0c:03:91:66, type NE2000 (16 bit) Jan 4 18:53:49 baby pccardd[45]: pccardd started During the 4-5 seconds it takes to find the card the network setup from rc.conf is already over.
