I've got my i8100 pretty well setup under FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE...the test Nvidia drivers are working under X (can't leave X, but oh well), sound, pccardd, printing, DVD, even my LTWinmodem, which was stunningly easy. My main concern/curiosity is: is there any way to get the hot-swappable drive to detect/work? I've got a Toshiba CD R/W IDE hot swappable drive that detects on boot as acd1, but I'd like to be able to get the device to initialize post-boot. Is that even possible in FreeBSD, or any Unix for that matter? Windows seems to treat it like a USB-style device, complete with "ejection" support. If anyone has any info, that'd be great.
