The latest X20 BIOS (vers. IZET65WW) does not exhibit the problem with partition type 165 problem with FreeBSD. I've used this version and the one that shipped on the X20 successfully with FreeBSD (sorry, I can't find my notes with the original BIOS version). So I wouldn't expect it to get reflected in the X20 BIOS. I did have the problem on A21p's, though. I will test the new T21 BIOS on my machine later today. Crossing my fingers...
