Ok, here's where I am.
I copied the section for PCMCIA out of files.i386 into
files.amd64 and copied rbus_machdep.c and rbus_machdep.h into the amd64
tree. I had to comment the include for opt_pcibios.h out of
rbus_machdep.c, and then I was able to config/make and get up on the new
kernel. I've posted the dmesg at
http://www.k-labs.com/~samuelk/dmesg.amd64_PCMCIA and my kernel config
at http://www.k-labs.com/~samuelk/GENERIC_PCMCIA
Now the system sees the cardslot, but there's still a problem.
I'm trying to use an old prism2 card (Compaq HNW-100). When the card's
inserted, the kernel logs this:
cbb0: wait took 0.015387s
pcmcia0: card appears to have bogus CIS
I found this in the mail archive and am rebuilding now to see if
it gets me up and running.

Do the resident experts have any other information on this that
I should take into consideration?
Thanks
