We have a couple of T20s' running FreeBSD, so this particular behavior seems to be related to changes for the *21 models. The T20 guys are never going to "upgrade" their BIOS after this mess.

If this analysis is correct, there should be no problems running NetBSD or OpenBSD on these machines, since they use different partition numbers. Can anybody confirm or deny?

Open uses A6. Nevertheless, the IBM people are a bunch of opportunistic morons. Where `free software', as a wave to surf, rhymes with `linux' and nothing else.

Could make an interesting slashdot story, probably needs to be submitted several times until they get a clue...
