Hi all, I upgraded my A21p BIOS to v1.04b (KYET27WW) and inserted a 12GB hard drive from my A20m containing FreeBSD 4.2 (GENERIC install) and to my amazement, it not only didn't hang, but FreeBSD booted and ran just fine. The same hard disk in my A20m hangs the machine. So it appears that IBM has fixed the A5 partition bug in this version, even though it is not listed as fixed in the BIOS release notes. The only caveat seems to be that (at least under Win98 SE), there now seems to be a glitch in the keyboard processing with the new BIOS. On occasion the keyboard buffer seems to hang momentarily (a keypress sometimes requires an additional keypress to be flushed from the keyboard buffer).
