Hi, i'm having physical problems with an hd, so i decided to copy its contents to a new hd and, after that, simply swap the hds. The new hd is bigger, so I installed it in /dev/ad1, repartitioned it, copied all the contents from /dev/ad0 to /dev/ad1 (with gcp --archive to preserve everything). And what i want to do next is to take out the old hd, install the new one in /dev/ad0 and be happy :) the problem is that the new hd is still not bootable. How do i do this, while it is installed in /dev/hda1 ? BTW, I don't have any windows partition/dos disk ... But I have a bootable 4.1 FreeBSD CD, if necessary ... tks for any help :-) jan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
