hpcmips port was out of hospital,from wrong term NetBSD old MIPS port broken.
1. PCMCIA card support still on NetBSD 5 decade.
2. lost intterept issue remains such as PCMCIA bus, may be.

If you can check PCMCIA card with NetBSD/i386 works well,
add configration to hpcmips GENERIC and re-compiling kernel 
should work well.

and one more problem:

3. 7.99.34 kernel hangs after /sbin/init

btw:

On hpcmips: GENERIC kernel supports below:
