After searching the IBM WWW pages for hours, I ran into some stuff
about the hibernation file.  It should exist on a DOS partition, AFAIK,
and if the amount of RAM is changed, a new file has to be created using
a "PS/2" command (so they say).  I have searched the supplied CD for
anything like this, but couldn't find it.  (My laptop even hasn't got
a CD-ROM drive.. I wonder how IBM expects me to be able to read the CD
in the first place?  Well, this kind of stuff seems to happen all the
time in the peecee world, argh.)

I'll try creating a DOS partition using NetBSD.. and maybe creating
some file there using dd.  Would help if I knew the name, though... ;)
