May I ask what s4bios does compared to "just s4" ? Does the kernel
still dump its core to swap or what happens ?
S4BIOS toggles the BIOS implementation of suspend-to-disk without OS
interaction.
I guessed that but how does the BIOS know where to suspend on the disk ? 
Does the kernel tell it by giving the block ranges for the swap partition or 
do you need to repartition the harddisk to contain some magic partitions ?
