Hi, I bet it is IBM ThinkPad. You can find additional information here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/install.html#BOOT-ON-THINKPAD

Hi, Just a few minutes ago, I installed Dragonfly 1.8 onto my laptop. Then I rebooted, and the BIOS hung up completely after showing that it detected the harddisk and cdrom. I powered down and tried again, but that didn't worked either. I couldn't even boot a CD or anything else or couldn't even enter the BIOS setup. The only thing that worked was to remove the harddisk physically and then pluging it in a few seconds after the BIOS crossed the detection of the devices. Using this method, I booted the Dragonfly installer cd and used the disk tools to wipe out the beginning of the harddisk. Then I rebooted again and voila, I could boot normally (without removing the harddisk). Puh! Now I tried a second time to install Dragonfly 1.8, but after I reboot the BIOS hangs again! I know that the BIOS should not hang up itself, but on the other hand that didn't happen with any other operating system I installed on my laptop (FreeBSD, NetBSD, DragonFly 1.6). So I think there is something wrong in the 1.8 version. Any hints? Regards, Michael
