Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be a really definitive place to register these values (I could be wrong on that). If you want to use FreeBSD, you need to use a non-default filesystem, and it should be fine. Just DON'T use A5 on these ThinkPads..." So use ext2 or some other FS for your freebsd slices! -----Original Message----- From: Gunnar Flygt To: FreeBSD Stable Sent: 11/30/2000 12:07 PM Subject: Can this really be true? FreeBSD not working on IBM T20's Is this really the situation, that FreeBSD is not booting on the latest IBM thinkpads? That would really be a pity, since I was going to buy such a nice little beast after newyear. http://bsdtoday.com/2000/November/News342.html -- __o regards, Gunnar ---_ \<,_ email: flygt@sr.se ---- (_)/ (_) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
