You must turn plug-n-play OS on in the BIOS setup or Windows will sporadically hang. 2. You must turn plug-n-play OS off in the BIOS setup or FreeBSD won't get the USB controller, among (perhaps) other things. So that's a little annoying. 3. There is a phdisk.exe in c:\sonysys\vsrcdfd\img\spt\ that appears to be the mechanism to create a suspend-to-disk partition instead of having the machine use a suspend-to-disk file. When I last tried to create a suspend-to-disk partition with phdisk on my Dell with a large hard disk, the result was disasterous if the file was located above the 8G boundary of the disk. I am taking no chances this time. FreeBSD is at the top, the suspend-to-disk partition will live in the middle, and DOS/Win98 at the bottom.
