I got the win98SE Dual-Boot machine after lunch today. Slapped it's disk in my T21 and it hibernated from FreeBSD just fine, so BIOS is not an issue. The hibernate file for the Win98Se is Save2dsk.bin, a hidden file. Tried copying that into place on my Win2K(FAT32) Dual-boot system and then rebooted into FreeBSD. By the way, I was wrong about the beep. I keep sound off on my laptop by default (I can't stand the friggin' Windows startup music). Turning sound back on, I hear what I guess is a sad beep. Sorry for the incorrect information earlier. Anyways, I'm getting used to the suspend and 4.x boots past the ATAPI CDROM so much faster than 3.x and previous that reboots are not as painful, so the hibernate isn't a huge loss for me.
