Default bsd on T22

openbsd 4.4 works like charm on my old good T22, only PCI POWER MANAGEMENT has to be disabled in bios to get good sound.

freebsd 6.3 works well too, only XFree86 has to be used instead of Xorg to avoid problems with the broken FreeBSD xorg video driver, otherwise fine

nebsd 5 current works extraordinarily well and fast too. nothing has to be changed, just goes as fast as a Russian Katjusia rocket. Dont know how the netbsd guys do it, but it just needs 19 secs to boot and sound works even with skype like brand new. If only they fixed the issue with hplip and kernel.......
netbsd 4 has sound inconsistency...

All in all - approved laptop for all BSD flavours (just do not use it with PC-BSD - mainly for esthetic reasons) :-D
