5.2.1 on Thinkpad X31

[Jonas Lindgren]

Hi all!

I've got the tip to try installing FreeBSD using VMware from Windows,
and I'm going to try that. I'm then going to remove the Windows
partition and resize the FreeBSD using growfs. I'm going to post the
result here on mobile mailing list later tonight, if someone is
interested.

Thanks for the advices!

Regards / Jonas Lindgren
