Machines are (almost) identical - only HD-sizes are different. So I installed the "master"-system as follows: I set up two slices on the HD. The first slice contains /, swap, /var, /tmp, and /usr; the second slice only contains /home. During installation I installed the FreeBSD boot manager. Everything's running perfect on the master machine (besides the small issue that the FreeBSD boot manager lets me choose between two (!) installations - I assume this comes because I've got two slices). The next step was cloning: On the target machine ("slave") I set up two FreeBSD partitions (i.e. "slices" in BSD-lingo: the first one exactly equal to the first slice on the master machine, the second one a little smaller. The cloning process itself went OK without problems - I cloned the first slice from the master- to the slave-machine. After copying over the data I only had to boot with the FreeBSD Install-CD on the slave-system one time in order to write the boot manager and the machine booted without problems. Now for the problem: Upon boot the slave machine says it can't find the /home-partition, i.e. hda2d, and goes into single-user mode. Sure enough once I comment out the respective entry in /etc/fstab the box runs without problems. In order to get /dev/hda2d mounted as root I've already tried writing the partition table (sysinstall - Index - Partition - "w") and I've also labelled the disk (Sysinstall - Index - Label) but that didn't solve my problem either. So my question: How do I prepare the second slice /dev/hda2d on the slave machine in order to get mounted as /home? Thanks much in advance for any clue, -ewald
