My laptop arrived, I moved windows to the last 2gb of disk and grabbed the
3.2 PAO boot floppies.

The external floppy is supported happily as a notmal floppy drive.
Once I found the right settings the pcmcia controller appeared:
pcic0: <Ricoh RL5C475 PCI-CardBus Brige> rev 0x00 int a irq 255 on pci0.10.0
pcic0 at 0x3e0-0x3e1 irq 11 on isa
PC-Card ctlr(0) Ricoh RL5C475/476 [CardBus bridge mode] (5 mem & 2 I/O windows)
pcic0: slot 0 controller I/O address 0x3e0

I needed to use pc card memory 0xd8000 and ignore irqs 1-10 but after
that it recongised my 3com and dlink network cards and I did an NFS
install from another one of my machines.

X configured happily:
vga0: <NeoMagic NM2160 laptop SVGA controller> rev 0x01 int a irq 9 on pci0.8.0
(--) SVGA: PCI: NeoMagic NM2160 rev 1, Memory @ 0xfd000000, 0xfea00000
(--) SVGA: chipset:  NM2160
(--) SVGA: videoram: 2048k
(**) SVGA: Using 16 bpp, Depth 16, Color weight: 565
(--) SVGA: Maximum allowed dot-clock: 90.000 MHz
(**) SVGA: Mode "1024x768": mode clock =  75.000

I compiled a custom kernel to add sound support and cut down the size,
the pcm driver recognises the sound device (0x220/irq 5/drq 1) and
everything else looks ok ... but it doesn't finish booting.

With boot -v it gets to "Considering FFS root f/s." and I see
"Card inerted, slot 0" as it recognises the net pcmcia card but
stops and hangs there.
Scroll lock scrolling works, I get inserted/removed lines if I put
the card in/out. Makes no difference if I have a card in or not.

The PAO_ALL kernel installed by the PAO install works fine (but it's
huge and has no sound support).
I tried to compile PAO_ALL myself to try and convert from that to
mine to see where the problem was but it won't compile:

*** Error code 1

If I boot kernel.PAO it goes through and continues "changing root device to
wd0s2a" sucessfully.

Anyone got any ideas ? I've tried a dozen varieties of config file
and had no luck at building a working config.	
I've built kernels on that machine and also on my desktop box at home
(which has a pcmcia controller in it, so has PAO installed).

It's a really nice machine and I'd like to get freebsd happy with sound
and everything else but I'm stumped.
