I've now tried setting this in grub for kfreebsd which didn't help. I
also again tried with a FreeBSD 9.0-RC1 Memory stick, which should be
plain FreeBSD and allows these kinds of settings, also with no
success. Also tried setting some cardbus debugging options because I
read about that on some website, output is at [1].
