or a hibernation file on the first fat16 or fat 32 slice. if you want to keep windows for the occasional firmware upgrade, you may want to convert the windwos filesystem from ntfs to fat32 and then put a hibernation file on there.
Does FreeBSD know to look there for the hibernation file, or is that a BIOS thing? Also - do I use a Dell tool to create the hibernation file?
it's a bios thing. i never done this with dells, but i guess if you don't find a dell-specific tool, you can use the ibm-one [1]. however, some googling [2] pointed me to pHdisk.exe from dell, maybe that's what you need.
I don't have Windows on my laptop - just FreeBSD, so if there is a way to do this without loading windows on it, I'd be much happier. Although I don't mind having a fat16 or fat32 partition around for this purpose..
no windows is no problem. the ibm tool comes as a dos boot disk.
