Cross posting this from the BSD thread since I'm not sure which thread is more relevant...
So I just got a Thinkpad X201, and I'd like to run FreeBSD on it.
I changed the boot order to put USB at the top, and disabled quick boot.
I then used unetbootin to create a usb drive that I could install the OS from.
However, when I boot the laptop it just tries to go into the Windows 7 setup. I tried hitting F12 and manually specifying the USB drive, and it still just ends up at the windows setup.
Is there something I'm missing? I'm kind of getting worried... I tried both the unetbootin preset for FreeBSD in the drop down menu, as well as the .iso from their website (8.0-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso), neither worked.
As in nothing, nada. I hit F12, select the usb drive, and end up back at the same screen I'd normally get, asking me to set up windows.
