The ps2 ? hfile gives the general purpose error message of "Type PS2 ?". A ps2 ? shows a HIBernation option, but typing "PS2 HIBernation" gives "This feature is not supported on this configuration". This was a Win2K system on a T21 with a Fat32 1st disk partition. I've used the Win2K Hibernate mode and I don't know exactly what it does, but it doesn't use the same thing IBM did, as I still can't Fn-F12 from my FreeBSD v4.3-RELEASE installation. It tried using the PS2.exe from a Win98 T21 here in the office to set up the hibernation file, but no luck so far. I've given up trying to hibernate my T21 w/Win2K dual-boot.
