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.
