Hi,
    I'm  a freebsd lovers , i wonna install fbsd7.1 to my laptop (IBM
Thinkpad R400 a18).
  There's no available informations on laptop compatibility lists. So do you
have any solutions to make a quick check if everything will work?
I know Solaris has a Install_check tool which will give a list  whether a
hardware has solaris drivers ,third-part driver or not supported.
Does Fbsd has something likely?
Thk in advance!

The most reliable way to check, is by booting the livefs cd and checking pciconf -lvvv for any none* devices. the none* devices may be given a driver if you load a module, but what's in GENERIC on the livefs, is what's in GENERIC when you first boot it from the hard disk.

This is an invaluable tool when I am just curious. It's also the invaluable tool for disaster recovery. Try the CD, and post to -questions when you get stuck with a device that should be recognized.
