There is nothing wrong.=20 Part of my problem was that I had never had or seen anything on other slice= s.

I guess my procedure would be to copy prod to test, then = perform any testing for new ports, etc. Then once tested, perform those sam= e actions on ad0s1.=20 I have been reading up on how to "clone" a disk, so I can boot into a copy.= Seems like some say tar can do it, but I have seen a place that said to on= ly use dump.
