What kind of hardware? When using a FreeBSD 4.10 laptop, my CF
cards come up on /dev/ad8 when plugged into a CF holder and
then into the PCMCIA slot. I've also got a 4.10 desktop with
a PCMCIA add-on ATA device (ie, plugged into IDE1, slave). It
comes up as /dev/ad3. The desktop however does not support
hot swapping pcmcia devices.
