You may need to add the inittab entries for a serial device. Not sure as
far as that goes.

PCMCIA comes in the form of a module. It's generally best to get the source
package and use that to recompile and install them whenever you recomile a
kernel. The easiest way to get it set up to begin with is to use the hamm
install disks and install the pcmcia modules as you install debian.
Otherwise, you'll need to put them on a floppy and copy them over and
install them. They're in teh pcmcia-cs package.
