Does FreeBSD know to look there for the hibernation file, or is that a 
BIOS thing?  Also - do I use a Dell tool to create the hibernation file?

I don't have Windows on my laptop - just FreeBSD, so if there is a way 
to do this without loading windows on it, I'd be much happier. Although 
I don't mind having a fat16 or fat32 partition around for this purpose..
