    Tip: Upgrade BIOS & UEFI before installing BSD

    Notebook runs too hot, so one needs to upgrade the BIOS, So do that Before you install BSD, as you need some MS-Windows to run the BIOS & UEFI etc upgrades from HP (OK maybe you could instead run the multiple .exe on some other MS-Win to extract the USB bootable patches, but probably easiest to patch native on same machine)

    Overheating Problem

    • Overheats during ftp of big images (such as for NTFS Shrinking & during other things too).
    • Fsck: There's just whatever BIOS &/or UEFIsets, while running in FreeBSD single user, before powerd starts, so - catch 22 - if the computer crashed before from overheating, & screwed big file systems, & if {/etc/rc.conf does not contain background_fsck="YES" Or fsck decides file system damage is too serious to fix in background mode }, fsck may run too long, & I, overheat again, & again endlessly (until you comment out FS from /etc/fstab, & fsck after multi user powerd is running).
    • Maybe Manufacturers don't design these notebooks for seriously intensive work ?
    • Why it probably mostly runs cool[er] on MS:
      Of course most MS end user PCs will be mostly in idle ie running at 100 MHz not 1600 MHZ until brief bursts of keyboard initiated work occur, so much less power as most MS users PCs aren't doing much except in immediate response to keyboard, they wont get hot, unless unusually given something CPU intensive, eg film (movie) ripping, or SETI type volunteer background load sharers etc. Only very few MS users would be doing hours of continuous parallel compiles non stop.
      (Remember also when considering power, we're perhaps not just considering a square law factor of doubling frequency quadrupling power, so apart from 16^2, also probably a higher CPU voltage occurs too, perhaps yet more power ? )
      Hours or sometimes days of continuous very intensive work at 100% load are quite normal & frequent for this
      Unix programmer using FreeBSD eg to locally build over 1000 ports/ after new releases, + intensive mirroring etc in parallel, that can mean heat.
    • I raised notebook on blocks put a fan under, then bought quieter commercial equivalents:
      • A platform with slim large fan to blow air under on hot spot, fan is movable.

          Prerequisites
          - Microsoft .NET 2.0 is required. UEFI and Custom Imaging
          - The HP System Diagnostics must be run from a FAT or FAT32 partition with a volume name of "HP_TOOLS". This installer gives you the option to install to the hard drive (HDD) or to a USB drive. If you install to the HDD and the HP_TOOLS partition is not present, the installer prompts you to create the HP_TOOLS partition. If you install to a USB drive, the installer renames the partition on the USB drive to HP_TOOLS. If you use a custom image, you can create the HP_TOOLS partition manually with type FAT32, and make the volume name HP_TOOLS. CAUTION - The HP_TOOLS partition is not protected and can therefore be deleted. - Backing up the computer by using the Microsoft Windows Vista Complete PC Backup does not back up the HP_TOOLS partition. For these reasons, HP recommends that you do not place additional data on the HP_TOOLS partition. Because the partition is not backed up, corruption or failure of the partition results in loss of all data on the partition, plus loss of UEFI functionality. For more information, visit www.hp.com/go/techcenter/startup
          Released: 2010-09-07
          Version: 3.1.1.0
          Fix/ Enhancement: - Adds support for new notebook models. - Improves the Battery test by adding additional checks. - Improves the speed of the Memory test.

        Bugs

        • Bug

          halt -p just causes a reboot, not a power down. Possibly I have a BIOS option wrong, or maybe the BIOS upgrade will solve it.
        • Bug

          Windows key is to left of Alt, but functionality (at reboot, before any OS can map it) seems to be the other way round.
          Even page 14 of 94 of User Guide c01922186.pdf (label at base: "4 Chapter 2 Features") is confused: The picture represents my hardware. The HP text below (describing middle 2 of the 4 keys left of space bar) does not match the picture:
          (3) Windows logo key Displays the Windows Start menu.
          (4) Windows applications key Displays a shortcut menu for items beneath the cursor.

                Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
                parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
                cylinders=1938021 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)
                
                Media sector size is 512
                Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
                Information from DOS bootblock is:
                The data for partition 1 is:
                sysid 7 (0x07),(NTFS, OS/2 HPFS, QNX-2 (16 bit) or Advanced UNIX)
                      start 3024, size 408240 (199 Meg), flag 0
                          beg: cyl 3/ head 0/ sector 1;
                          end: cyl 407/ head 15/ sector 63
                The data for partition 2 is:
                sysid 7 (0x07),(NTFS, OS/2 HPFS, QNX-2 (16 bit) or Advanced UNIX)

                The data for partition 3 is:

                          end: cyl 983/ head 15/ sector 63
                The data for partition 4 is:
                sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)

        2nd copy with efficient block size:

                9+1 records in 9+1 records out

            Conclusion:
                Kernel doesn't freak out on 20 M, (though it might be a choke later
