The problem is that /usr/obj and /usr/src will be NFS mounted, : and the network card is a PCMCIA NE2000. Can I just build and install the : new pccardd and then reboot, or is there something else I will need to do? Yes. build and install the new kernel, build and install the new pccardd (with the new pccard include files, so as part of make buildworld is the best way to build it). Then it should be safe to reboot. Keep a copy of the old pccardd and old kernel around just in case you botch something.
