Around a month ago I (briefly) attempted to install NetBSD/i386 1.6 
on a laptop but I couldn't even get into sysinst because when booting 
from the startup floppies or CD it hung when probing the PCMCIA 
controller which was one of the 02micro cardbus controllers; don't 
know which off hand.  I couldn't find any references to this brand on 
the NetBSD Web site so I gave up.  (Could someone explain how to 
create install floppies which would ignore this device and carry on 
to sysinst?)

Some Acer laptops use 02micro controllers so that might be something 
to watch out for.
