I just noticed that the man page of pcata says this:
o vold does not support pcata. File systems must be
mounted manually.
If pcata shows up in prtconf -D, then it's very likely that the driver
is working.
What's left is to find the correct device to mount. There should be a
device file
created by pcata under /dev. It should be /dev/dsk/c#d#p#
Does the format command find anything?
# format
Is it c4d0?
To further diagnose the driver, we can bringup kmdb and set a breakpoint at
pcmcia_create_device(), which calls ddi_pathname().
ddi_pathname() returns the device name string in its second argument.
What does the panic stack look like in the case of TDK modem ?
