I used to suspend to disk in 4.x after creating the S2D partition with the 
floppy image from Dell, however I don't any more..

Basically it takes so long to suspend and resume with a decent amount of 
memory (256Mb+) that it's not worth it - most of my applications are smart 
enough to save state when they quit :)

I suspect the story would be different if FreeBSD did the hard work (ie it 
could use DMA, compression, throw away cache pages etc etc) but just thinking 
about how to resume makes my head hurt.
