Hi,

FreeBSD runs pretty well on my Thinkpad T20 (details can be found at
<http://mailbox.univie.ac.at/~le/thinkpad/>), but I still have some
questions:

*) can I get the "hotswap" feature of DVD drive and floppy drive to work
without having to reboot each time I want to change drives? (I get all
kind of error messages from "Device not configured" to "Device busy" and
system deadlocks and even kernel panics when I try to switch drives when
the system is running.)

*) can I get the DVD drive to run in DMA mode? Currently it only runs in
PIO mode.

*) I guess noone has tried to write an IrDA stack yet, so I can't use the
Infrared port?

*) the ltmdm driver for the built-in winmodem works quite well, but I get
a nice kernel panic a few seconds after unloading the kernel module. Has
anyone of you made the same experience?

regards,
le
