Hi, This is a wellknown problem, http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/troubleshoot.html. Just remove memory modules to have less than 64 Mo on your THINKPAD. It will boot fine after. Then create a custom kernel with MAXMEM keyword matching the exact amount of ram displayed by the 770 at startup (the lesser one). Replug your memory modules, that's done. MAXMEM is documented in LINT, if you do not know FBSD very well, read http://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html For Laptop issues, you could subscribe to mobile@FreeBSD.org Regards.
