Is that one a real toshiba?  If not, I used some time ago a toshiba with a
phoenix's notebook bios and after using http://www.procyon.com/~pda/lphdisk/
this worked for me (but under Linux, though I'm sure it would have
worked under FreeBSD).

If it's a real toshiba, there is some stuff that may be need
to be implemented, using some propritary interfaces documented here:
http://www.buzzard.org.uk/toshiba/docs.html (you need the 2 pdf).
It may be possible also that, when under ACPI mode, all you need is an
IBM suspend partition, but I can't tell for sure.
