Sony Vaio F270, FreeBSD 3.2+PAO, and the suspend (both to memory and to
disk) work fine.  When suspending to disk the 'progress screen' identifies
itself as Phoenix NoteBIOS v4.0.

I didn't have to do anything to get it to work, it just works.

Just a thought -- suspend to disk requires a partition at the end of the
disk with sysid 165, and it needs to be roughly 3 * size of RAM (mine has
64MB RAM, and the fdisk output is

The data for partition 4 is:
sysid 160,(unknown)
    start 12262320, size 408240 (199 Meg), flag 0
        beg: cyl 811/ sector 1/ head 0;
        end: cyl 837/ sector 63/ head 239
