In the page above, you wrote: ``Hibernation for FreeBSD: still doesn't
work.''
It works on my X20, at least. But with the default Windows 2000
install, hibernation is handled by Windows instead of by the BIOS.
Briefly, here is how I got hibernation working:
= Repartition so that you have a FAT partition as the first
partition. It must be big enough for your hibernation file --- so
make it a bit larger than physical memory.
= Install DOS on that partition.
= Download the IBM PS2 for DOS utility [1], and install it on the
DOS partition.
= Use the PS2 utility to create a hibernation file.
Now hibernation works.
Cheers,
