Okay, a bit more followup.

1.  I turned off DMA on the card, and told the system to reserve IRQ 9 for
ISA devices.  The card has no jumpers for IRQ, so I assume it wants one
assigned.

2.  The system now says

pcic0 at isa0 port 0x3e0-0x3e1 iomem 0xd0000-0xdffff
pcic0: controller 0 (Intel 82365SL Revision 1) has socket A only
pcmcia0 at pcic0 controller 0 socket 0
pcic0: controller 0 detecting irqs with mask 0xdeb8:..9
pcic0: using irq 9

3.  If I plug the card in, the little green light flashes once right as the
card is inserted.

4.  I never get any further messages from pcic, from this card or any other
card I try to plug in to it.

I'm a little confused; I was looking for a daemon that interacts with this,
but I think that was a BSD/OS thing, not a NetBSD thing.  My memory is shot.
It does look as though the PCMCIA<->ISA reader isn't working, though.  *sigh*.
