Sleep/resume in FreeBSD 9 on a ThinkPad

[Stefan Horomnea]

Hi,

After your suggestion, I have searched a bit but found no way so far to
update my BIOS on the ThinkPad without having Windows install, in order to
run the update they provide on the lenovo website. I used all my partitions
for FreeBSD, so I do not space to install Windows. So that would be my last
resort.
If you guys know how I can update my BIOS without installing Windows, let
me know.
Until then, I will continue with the other tests.

Thank you,
Stefan
