I have a freebsd server with two IDE hard drives: 2.5 GB and 13 GB (ad0 and
ad1). The whole system was installed on the 2.5 GB drive and the 13 GB was
used for file storage. Now, for a couple weeks I've been getting "HARD READ
ERROR"s on the smaller drive, so I've copied the whole system to the larger
drive. But I can't get the system to boot from that drive, I get stranded in
the following prompt:
>> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel
boot:
And the boot loader won't find the kernel. Boot0cfg dies with errors such as
"filesystem in use" even when nothing but / is mounted. I have 4.0-STABLE.
Please help me boot the system.
Thank you.
