99% of these problems turn out to be misconfigurations. The process of
working out what will work isn't pretty and has been hashed over here
many times and should be in the archives.

What it usually means is that the resources (be they memory, io or
irqs) you are trying to use are not actually available, and trying to
use them for the pcic or for the inserted cards hangs the machine.

The things to change are pccard_mem= in /etc/rc.conf, the memory, io
and irq values in /etc/pccard.conf and the pcic config in the kernel.
The /etc/ files have defaults in /etc/defaults/ and just your changes
should be in the files in /etc/

> Just to be clear. Is that the file /boot/kernel.conf ?

No, it's /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/<KERNELNAME>, although you can change
the irq used by pcic in /boot/loader.conf;

  machdep.pccard.pcic_irq="10"
