Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I've got an install of 4.2 R on a scsi drive da0. I've just installed a newer bigger drive, and instead of pulling down the sources over the network again, i wanted to know how to perform a new install on the new drive from the sources on the old drive. Is this possible? I tried booting off the install disks, then choosing existing filesystem, but i wasn't sure what to put in for the complete path of FreeBSD distribution files...
