 If the kernel by default allocates an interrupt for PCMCIA which is
 allocated to other (typically undetected) hardware, you may use a
 workaround by booting the install kernel with "boot -d" to drop into
-DDB (the in-kernel debugger) and set pcic_isa_intr_alloc_mask to mask
-out the offending interrupt before continuing.  By default the kernel
-masks out IRQ 10, and the corresponding mask is 0xfbff.  If you can

 get your PCMCIA card to work using this hack, you may also ignore the
