I don't know about the current ThinkPads, but with many of the older ones, this couldn't be configured though the BIOS. One had to do it through a windows program or a DOS program called ps2.exe, so being able to boot into the partation was required to configure power management. > Some info about my system: > IBM ThinkPad I Series 2611 > APM BIOS v1.2 > AcerLabs M15x3 Power Management Unit > AcerLabs Aladdin ATA33 controller > > Its drive is dedicated to FreeBSD, but I didn't use the DD option it > just has a normal fdisk partition table, well I should say had, since > Im going to have to re-format to recover from this one.. > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
