You can do that by adding flags 0x0001 below cardslot
definition in your config file, such as:

cardslot*	at cbb? flags 0x0001

This forces cardslot attaching a device when the device is
found.

Because CardBus uses kernel thread to attach and detach
device.  Kernel thread starts after root device lookup.
