Im changing disks in one of my boxes. Im following a post made by Dean <madscientist@thegrid.net> on http://www.freebsddiary.org/driveswap.php. I dont think my problem is with the procedure of moving data from drive to drive. When I reboot with the new drive I get "Invalid Partition" Before I moved the data, I would add the drive to the system (while it was off of course), enter /stand/sysinstall, fdisk the drive, set it to be bootable. Then enter disklabel, create the partitions, and write the changes to disk. Is that enough to make a drive to be bootable, or am I missing something.
