I have all the partitions moved over to the new drive.. the /etc/fstab on the new drive is updated. The bootmanager is installed on the new drive.. but when I boot, I get Invalid partition No /boot/loader >>FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel boot: At the "boot:" prompt if I enter "0:ad(4,e)/kernel", it boots fine. here is the old vs the new Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da0s1a 126M 53M 63M 45% / /dev/da0s1f 252M 21M 211M 9% /tmp /dev/da0s1e 252M 124M 108M 53% /var /dev/da1s1e 3.9G 2.7G 946M 74% /usr procfs 4.0K 4.0K 0B 100% /proc new: Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad4s1e 984M 534M 372M 59% / /dev/ad4s1f 36G 2.2G 31G 6% /usr procfs 4.0K 4.0K 0B 100% /proc so Im thinking I need to do something with disklabel but I want to make sure that I dont destroy my "so far working" efforts. regards, Jason
