Hello kernel list

If a CardBus card is in a slot at boot time is it treated as PCI device
would be? Is it just another device on another PCI bus?

Thank you,
Daniel

In kernel 2.4 and using kernel cardbus support, yes.

But is it possible for it to be configured at boot time (like to use it for
nfsroot)

It didn't work for me a few kernels back as the cardbus nic got active
after the assignment of the ip address and after the nfsroot mount
(which both failed because of that).
