Hmmm. And I thought that my experiences with Sony were bad. :-) One way aroudn this issue is to use a different partition type and hack FreeSBD to cope. But I don't suppose that the folks at IBM would be pelased to learn that they had collided with a partition typed used for the past 9 years. Given my experiences with large companies in the past, I'd say that one of two things is going on: 1) The support department has no clue and since it doesn't work, they say it isn't supported. They haven't even told engineering about the problem. or 2) There's a BIOS engineer who is trying to save his job by blaming FreeBSD for his own fuck up. Or he has too much ego to admit that he's wrong. My money is on the prima donna. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
