	could you boot with GENERIC kernel (boot[12].fs)?
	if so, you can take the following steps:
	- boot from boot[12].fs.  cardbus is not available.
	  copy GENERIC kernel from kern.tgz into hard drive (/netbsd).
	- reboot from hard drive.  cardbus is still not available.
	- recompile a new kernel, which is basically GENERIC + cardbus.
