 Ahh, that explains it.  What happens is that the BIOS on your box does
 something special so that it looks like a legacy-ISA device, but Win95
 'screws up' this mapping, so when you boot into FreeBSD the PCI stuff is
 probably hosed up.
 
 Hopefully we'll get better 'PCI/PCMCIA' controller support in FreeBSD.
 
 (I'm working on PCMCIA stuff this weekend, but not on that particular
 item, although it's on my white-board.)
