Now, I moved this hard drive to a case intending use it as a portable FreeBSD machine. In past, this hard disk was a /dev/ada0 device and now, of course, it assumes a name /dev/da0. When I tried to boot, the initial process is ok, but when partitions and filesystem are supposed to be mounted, I got a error and a request to specify from where I want to boot. When I typed "?" to see avaliable options, I got the result ( a photo took from my cell phone): http://www.quimica.ufpr.br/edulsa/fig-boot-externalharddisk.jpg I tried several of them including: zfs:zeeroot Please, could you give some hint about to procedure? Thanks in advance for your attention Eduardo PS.: /dev/ada0 is the actual internal hard disk on the machine wheres I tried to boot. So, it is not a option --=20 Eduardo Lemos de Sa Professor Titular Dep. Quimica da Universidade Federal do Paran=C3=A1 fone: +55(41)3361-3300 fax: +55(41)3361-3186
