Yeah, the install fails.
It seems to hang for an *extremely* long time (possibly hours?) after
saying something like:
isa at mainbus
pcic0 at isa0 port 0x3e0-0x3e1 iomem 0xd0000-oxd3fff: using irq 3
pcic0: controller0 (Intel 83265SL Revision 1) has sockets A and B
pcmcia0 at pcic0 controller 0 socket 0
pcmcia1 at pcic0 controller 0 socket 1
com3 at pcmcia1 function 0 port 0x2f8-0x2ff: ns16550a, working fifo
pcmcia1: card irq 9
So, the pcmcia controller is detected as is the modem card, but the
network card isn't.
I can't tell a whole lot about the net card it claims to be an SVEC
pcmcia LAN card
