I don't know about that particular model, but I have a VAIO VGN-A49GP
which is giving me trouble with trying to install various BSD's. I can
only get FreeBSD 5.4 Rel on it. 6.0 Rel won't install as it gets errors
writing to the disk. 5.4 detects the disk as being PATA whereas 6.0 Rel
detects as SATA.

Seems terribly quirky for such an expensive machine. But apparently that
is Sony for you. Of course, YMMV.
