The good news is that suspend-to-disk works just fine with my Latitude = and 3.1R. There is something to improve, however: When the system powers up after a suspend-to-disk, the FreeBSD boot menu = prompts for the partition to load. Since this is a poweron after = suspend-to-disk, it should set the default to the suspend partition so = that, if no key is pressed, it just resumes the saved image. That does = not currently happen, however. The default chosen by the boot menu is = simply the last partition that was loaded previously. I did a little debugging with DOS debug.exe, and it is apparent that the = boot menu saves the default partition to use at some byte in the MBR. I would like to change the code to not save the default partition = explicitly, but instead use the active partition as the default. The = reason behind this change is that the BIOS (hopefully) sets the active = partition to the suspend partition when suspending to disk. Could somebody please point me to the place where the source for the = FreeBSD boot menu lives so I can change it? Regards, Georg.
