Okay, i've looked through the archives and on freebsddiary.org, and just want to make sure that I have everything down right. :) The situation: I have two hdd's installed currently (one's new'n'empty). The origional one had Windows and FreeBSD 4.1.1 sharing 10gigs, the new one is 30 total. I've repartitioned the new drive, preparing to give FreeBSD 20gigs on it, and they are currently mounted in /mnt (/), /mnt/usr, and /mnt/var. Not to mention a swapfile, of course. I am prepared to use tar, as described on freebsddiary.org, to copy the relevant partitions over to the new drive. Then, i'm not clear exactly what to do. Both of these drives are IDE, and I keep seeing people talk about SCSI and SCSI ID's. I'm _assuming_ I need to change something in some boot config somewhere. Incidentely, the new drive shows up in my bootmgr menu already, with nothing on it, as 'Disk X', where X is a number I forget. :) Thanks. --Ix To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
