Hi,

I am planning to buy sony vaio z1ra. Is there anyone here who successfully
booted and used freebsd on this notebook? Or maybe other models of sony vaio
may be suggested?


REGARDS,

I bought a Sony VAIO ZX1-SMP last Friday. I have 5.2 current running,
with X, sound and Ethernet. Haven't tried wireless/bluetooth yet. So
far, I think it's a great laptop

Two issues:

1) Disable ehci. It freaks out on the Z1WA that I have.

2) Turn the wireless switch off until after / is mounted.

Otherwise I'm running yesterday's current on mine.
