The partition number does seem to be significant. The exact correct soze and position on the disk also seem to be significant. It also has to be under 8Gb for the bios to use it. > Okay, I just made it last partition on the drive, but you don't think that > will work? basically, WinDoze, FreeBSD then subtype 160 ... A suspend to disk partition created with anything but the phdisk.exe utility will not work, in my experience. If you have identical disks and identical laptop models you can take the details created by phdisk.exe one one machine and use them on another, but I've tried several times to create partitions for suspend to disk on new machines/disks and other than phdisk.exe none of them worked for whatever reason. Forget creating it manually and use phdisk.exe. P. -- pir pir@pir.net pir@net.tufts.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
