Please, just DON'T quote the text of an unrelated digest message,
including several irrelevant email messages, only to add a single
paragraph on top of it all.

There are probably many ways to do this.  I can think of at least
two right now:

    a) First move the installed system to the new disk, i.e. by
       using the process described here:

       http://keramida.serverhive.com/weblog/archives/2004-10-26/daemonizing-a-new-disk

       Then, when the system is up and running with its new disk,
       use the process described in the Handbook, to upgrade from
       5.X to 6.X from source:

       http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html

    b) Remove the old disk.  Install a clean 6.0 system.  Re-add
       the old disk as a secondary disk, and restore whatever you
       want to keep from that one.
