I'm running netbsd 2.0 on an ACER Aspire 1620 laptop.
It works fine accept for some random delays in various
commands (ls, etc... or editing with emacs).
It seems that the spinning of the disk is stoped and
restarted too often, which could explain those delays.

Does somebody know how I can check that this is
indeed the case ?
How can I change the frequency at which
the disk is put asleep ?
