Heyas folks --

Now that the power management framework is merged and things have settled 
down a bit, now is a great time for you to provide us feedback on results 
of your suspend/resume tests.

It's really quite simple. Ensure you have a -current kernel from at least 
now or later, and a machine that supports suspend to RAM. Both uni- and 
multiprocessor kernels should work.

Some notes before you get started:
   * Do your initial tests in single-user mode, to save potential fscking.
   * If you get an immediate reboot on wakeup (as is the case on most Dell
     laptops), set the following sysctl:
       # sysctl -w machdep.acpi_vbios_reset=0
   * If you do not have video on resume, please install sysutils/vbetool
     from pkgsrc. The following command on resume should bring things back:
       # vbetool post
     This can either be typed blindly, or scripted.
   * If you can't suspend because a loaded driver doesn't support the PMF,
     boot into userconf with 'boot -c' and disable those drivers if
     possible. Even better, send-pr with patches to make them properly
     capture and restore state.

Alright, now for the moment of truth. Boot single user and execute the 
following command:

   # sysctl -w machdep.sleep_state=3

Good luck!

Cheers,
Jared
