Or is it? > Well, if I were doing it I'd mount ad1s1 to something like /usr/newlocal and then move all the files; then I'd rename /usr/local to /usr/local2, put ad1s1 in fstab on with /usr/local as a mount point, and then remount /usr/newlocal to /usr/local/. Make sure it works, and reboot; then once it's working and you know the files are right, you can start deleting stuff in /usr/local2.
