First, get the recovery CD from IBM. It's free for new systems and I have heard that others have gotten free copies in some cases with older units. It's not too expensive to just buy one from IBM. Then nuke the recovery partition. (It won't work with the FreeBSD boot block, anyway.) Use Windows XP to run ps2 in a command window to set up BIOS. The ThinkPad Configuration Utility makes BIOS changes but does not always write them to CMOS memory. ps2 makes changes that will stay in place when you boot FreeBSD. I will attach my XF86Config file. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
