I see numerous unsubstantiated references to PCMCIA issues. You may be able to ferret out more information by combing through the port-i386@ mailing list. Below is a list of potentially matching the error provided:

Also I wanted to save the dmesg output for posting but am not sure what command to use.
To save console output during booting, you will need to set up a serial connection to another computer & capture whatever output is sent over the serial link. You will find further information at the following:

http://man.chinaunix.net/bsd/www.net...p2p-via-serial
http://www.netbsd.org/docs/Hardware/Misc/serial.html

Commands which can be used on the remote box include tip(1) or cu(1).
