I'm not sure which address this should be directed to so I'm trying both. Sorry 'bout that... My system is all SCSI with two SCSI controllers and hard drives on both. I have an older version of freeBSD on a disk on one of the controllers and an unused disk on the other. What I want to do is to install a more recent version of freeBSD on the unused drive on the second controller, keeping the older version where it is. However, I'd also like to interchange the two controllers on the the m'board's expansion slots (i.e. swap PCI bus position). It occurs to me, however, that that will change the numbering of the drives and, so, make /etc/fstab on the original system incorrect. Is that correct? If so, what is the best way to accomplish what I've described above? What other "gotchas" must I consider? Kindest regards, Charlie -- Charlie Sorsby crs@swcp.com P. O.
