I just realised, I think I didn't make use of the menu item "Configure
PCMCIA Support". Is there an easy way of configuring PCMCIA support for
installation once I've already installed the base system? Can I run
dbootstrap again? Where do I get it (the boot disks aren't mountable,
right?) Or is it easier to reinstall from scratch?

As I just mentioned, I think the pcmcia card isn't properly
configured/initialised.
