However, I remember it supports handing the s.t.d. over to the system bios if your `sysctl hw.acpi.s4bios` is "1". To achieve that, you have to have your hibernation partition configured. You can then s.t.d. using `acpiconf -s 4`. I haven't tried it yet because (and here comes the other advise) the tool which creates the hibernation-partition ("HDPREPEZ") needs to reside in the first 8 GBs of the disk. Unfortunately, this is where FreeBSD is sitting and I was too lazy to move my F'BSD installation so far. So, just to answer the question "where?": at the beginning. Dunno what partition type, I recommend using your BIOS manufacturer's software tools.
