You need a psm driver, and it runs on the same IO addr as the
keyboard, so you need to specify 

options ALLOW_CONFLICT_IOADDR

device psm0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq12 vector psmintr

in your config file
and get the files /sys/i386/isa/psm.c
(included as standard in 1.1.5)

The best starting point is FreeBSD 1.1.5(R)
and the config file 'LAPTOP'


Anyone got a PCMCIA modem card driver working? Must be simpler than
getting ethernet pcmcia working, as is included in the 1.1.5
distribution.
