A31p & FreeBSD 4.8 Installation

Fri Jul 4 05:53:43 PDT 2003

Hi,

Has anyone got a thinkpad A31p model 2653XX6 (mine is P4M 1.7 GHz,
XPP, 768 MB RAM, 60 GB, 64 MB Mobility FireGL 7800, 15" UXGA, DVD/CDRW
drive) and installed FreeBSD on it?  This will be my first
installation.  Could anyone give me some tips, please?  Are there any
probable difficulties?  How can I avoid them?  Also, I plan to dual
boot XPP and FreeBSD 4.8 and have already prepared some slices on my
hard drive.  Here are the details:
- 23 GB Windows XP Pro
- 9 GB FAT32 for sharing data between OS's
- 21 GB free space (unformatted) for FreeBSD (I havn't installed it
yet) and
- 5 GB IBM recovery partition
Is there XFree86.conf for this laptop available somewhere?

Thanks all

Tempo
