I can't find any good docs or guides to this. I checked the
handbook, but had a bunch of references to 5.x.
Can anyone point me to the right direction?

I'd like to go with FreeBSD 8.1 amd64 for my next system.
Hibernation and Wake on Lan would both be useful.

The only support for hibernation is via the BIOS with a special
partition. Unfortunately as far as I know it rarely, if ever, works.
Windows (I don't know about Linux) bypasses the BIOS/ACPI and just
dumps the contents of memory to disk before powering off.
