I saw this discussion in the archives and thought I should join in.) I've managed to boot a X220i using -CURRENT as of last night. I got some help on -questions to get it done though. From a blank machine, you'll need either a non-USB boot device with FreeBSD media (untested) or a USB keyboard. If you are using a USB keyboard set hint.atkbd.0.disabled=1 to install, and use the USB keyboard during installation. Then on the first reboot in the BIOS set 'USB UEFI BIOS' to disabled. (This means you can't boot from a USB device.) At that point, the machine will boot fine. I've tried 8.2-RELEASE, the last amd64 -CURRENT I could find on the FreeBSD website, and -CURRENT as of 2011-05-16. I'm building a couple of ports at the moment, and want to reboot with a couple of config changes in the loader to see if I can get the WiFi recognized. As soon as I do that I can post my dmesg someplace. Daniel T. Staal --------------------------------------------------------------- This email copyright the author.
