this will probably not be of use to many people, but on the off chance it
is, OS/2's Warp's PCMCIA drivers have a similiar option, -b I think,
that says that this device is a boot device, and to therefore leave it
alone during initialization.
Not that this helps you particularly, but it may help someone else.
