No, and I will be committing some code that'll make sure FreeBSD doesn't walk on anything that might get messed up. My desktop box used to spit this out until I added my patch, and many laptops do this as well. On the ThinkPads, the 1K space is used by the APM bios. For non-laptop machines it can be safely ignored, and for laptops it can be mostly ignored. Nate
