Hi guys,
Recently, I got a brand new Lenovo T420s on which I tried to install FreeBSD amd64 on. I had millions of problems and I need an opinion:
1) 8.2 amd64 - boot stuck at keyboard probe (http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/svn-rev-197392-hangs-during-boot-td3926276.html) - workaround by adding an external USB keyboard and disabling the internal AT keyboard at the boot prompt
- I managed to install and boot the OS but I have no drivers for the network card .
2) 9.0 amd64 (May snapshot) - had to do the same thing with the keyboard and after I installed the OS, I couldn't boot it. The PC was acting like there was no HDD inside at all. I have a SSD inside (if this makes any difference at all).
3) PC-BSD 8.0 and 8.2 behave the same as FreeBSD 8.2 amd64.
Any hints anyone?
