I'd probably go with: Backup, install disks, do binary installation, restore. You might also get away with something like: . Add the two 4 GB disks. . Partition, label, mount them under /mnt. . Boot single user and tar/untar everything over to /mnt. . Edit /mnt/etc/fstab . Use boot loader to boot into the new disks. -- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve -- http://www.FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
