Laptops & FreeBSD

[Shaun Reiger]

Hi Markus,

Thank you for the links and your laptop install story, I was glad to 
read that you where able to solve your boot/bios problems. I'm not sure 
if any one has tried installing FreeBSD on a Lenovo X1, but this was the 
laptop I was considering. It seems like most of hardware is intel. But 
I'm unsure of support for its hardware in the current BSD. Here is a 
link to the site, and if you know of any issues installing it please let 
me know.

Cheers,

Shaun
