    Did anyone tried to install freebsd on a clevo notebook? There seems to be issues with the firewire, is there a way to disable the firewire in the bios?

    Thanks!

    If by that you mean Linux (or something of the sort) I think the hard part would be getting drivers for the current gpus

    Not in this case, nvidia supports bsd and linux at 100%.

    Unfortunately the problem in this case is really with the bios of the notebook that doesn't permit to disable the firewire.

    Well, I would love to use freebsd but if its not possible to disable the firewire, its not something that would make me love less my clevo.

    and what is the firewire chipset on that system?
