I have some old 486's and Pentiums laying around. I'd like to put FreeBSD on them, but would rather not wait two days for them to run a 'make world'. I would like to take out the hard drives and configure them in a faster, existing FreeBSD box, and then place the drives back in a slower machine. Can I just copy the / and /usr directorys from one disk to another and expect them to work? Is there a web page which outlines this process?
