Uh-huh.

Oh, weird.  My friend's works fine on IRQ 9.  :)  I have, however, never
had any luck with PCMCIA under any laptop running any Unix on a warm boot.

Duh!  Thanks, this is actually obvious now.  I've always turned it on, so I
never saw the messages on my machine... But mine's a ThinkPad with only 6
settings (100%, 80%, 60%, 40%, 20%, off) so apm is a lot less informative on
it.  (Estimated time left is always 0:00.)

By the way, another data point:  None of my CF cards probe correctly under
either NetBSD or BSD/OS on either my ThinkPad or my friend's DELL.  Under
NetBSD, the report is that the card never came ready (status 0x0c).  Under
BSD/OS, it's "pcic_setpow: adp 0 hwsock 0: power up timo".

If this gives anyone any clues, I'd love to see this work.
