As far as I know, FreeBSD currently is unable to suspend to disc, as I
can't find any notes where to tell it about suspend/resume partition (I
wish it to be like "acpi_resume=/dev/ad0s3" in loader.conf, for example).  Correct me if I am wrong.
But you can try suspending to RAM, however, currently my vaio laptop goes to
bed happily but it can't wakeup after it, so I'm unhappy with
suspending at all.
Really, there is great lack of documentation about suspending to disc
in freebsd.
