Hi Casey,


> I need to replace the drive that my fbsd boots from. I have read the
> documentation on how to format, and copy files to a drive.  e.g.:

I did exactly the same a few days ago and followed the instructions of
the faq:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/disks.html#NEW-HUGE-DISK

The only modification I did was to give the dump command the additional
"-L" parameter for working of a live system. Works like a charm.
