Unfortunately you may not be able to. Some laptops have a dos/windows based
sleep area generator. Mine needs it at a specific spot on the hard drive I can
not find. However mine still suspends properly without one. Go fig (-:

Best thing here is VERY early in the boot, come up with a way to check what run
level you are in, then place a script like this:
if docked then
telinit "dock level"
elsif undocked then
telinit "undock level"
else
go boom
fi
telinit is passed the number for the desired level.
