If you pass along to the list, a copy of your kernel config, 
/etc/rc.conf, and the output from dmesg ... it shoudl be relatively
easy to get you sorted out.

This is most like an irq conflict.

0) strip any non-used device entries out of your kernel

1) change the pccard entry in the kernel to

device card
device pcic0 at isa?

2) make sure that pccardd_flags in /etc/rc.conf is not passing
   a bogus (read, unfree) irq to pccardd

3) make sure that your /boot/kernel.conf isn't enabling/disabling
   something it ought not.

Hope this helps,
