Ok, I'm having some problems....due to the fact that I'm pretty new and
have no idea on how to do this.  We had a server crash, hardware
related, and I want to take my dump backups and restore them on another
system.  The dump files are located on a remote ftp server.  So
basically what I'm trying to accomplish is installing FreeBSD on the new
system, getting the dump files off of the backup server, and then
restoring them on a live server.  Is this possible, or should I be
trying to do this a different way.  I cannot restore everything exactly
without some changes.  The new server is SCSI, and the old server was on
an IDE hard drive and I had re-compiled the kernel with all SCSI devices
disabled (I don't know if that even matters).  Anyway I'm kind of lost
and am looking for some guidance.  I've done plenty of reading and have
attempted the restoration on my own, but keep hosing the new system.
Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks,
Cody
