>Description:
I submitted this problem a few days ago, and I received an answer
saying that the 1460 was supported in -stable. I built a kernel
using the PCCARD configuration file that comes with the release, booted
the resulting kernel, and I saw no messages indicating either that
the adaptor had been detected (other than the pccard driver detecting
that there was a card plugged in), and definitely no devices on the
scsi bus were recognized or reported.

 You haven't given me *any* useful information to go on.  What are the
 results printed on the screen, or what the pccardd daemon said, etc..?
 I can't help you unless you give me something to work with.

 I'll try to boot with the second serial port as the console (the first
 is an IRDA port) and capture the console messages. 
 
 In any case, I don't see a line in the PCCARD config file indicating
 that a driver for the 1460 is being configured; I would expect
 something like "controller foo0 on slot?" but all that's vaguely
 related to scsi in that config file is the "controller aic0 on isa0"
 (or something like that; I'm not near my FreeBSD machine right now),
 and then a "device sd0". Am I missing something here?
 
 What's the pccardd daemon? 
 
 To give you a bit more background: I'm trying to bring up FreeBSD on
 my notebook using a scsi jaz drive as the only disk; I assumed that
 something along the lines of what I described in the previous
 paragraph, combined with "config vmunix root on sd0" would do the
 trick. Apparently, this is not the case. 
 
 Am I totally wrong in assuming that this can be done? 
 
 Thanks,

 You mean the PCCARD kernel config file?  It has a line that says:
 
 controller      aic0    at isa? port 0x340 bio irq 11 vector aicintr

 Yeah, the correct config file apparently.
 
 > What's the pccardd daemon? 
 
 That's the user-land code that reads the information in the PCMCIA
 cards, and tells the kernel which driver to use, based on information in
 /etc/pccard.conf.

 Umm, you *can't* do that on a laptop, since you have to have a disk to
 boot off *before* you can recognize PCCARDs.
