We can't support the various PCMCIA/CardBus docking stations easily in
FreeBSD right now because kbd and other 'basic' things haven't been
newbusified.
Maybe we should just do a wscons port, now that it has shown its use
in NetBSD. wscons is very portable, but a little less user friendly
than syscons. syscons gives a better user experience, but tends to be
a little x86 centric.
