Hi, I bought a new disk yesterday and need to move my system over to it. I bought Drive Copy to move Win95. The book made me think there was a chance that it would move FreeBSD too, but it didn't. But it did, Windows quite well. Anyway, what I figured on doing was: Boot old disk. create and newfs my partitions on my new disk use dd, tar, cpio, dump/restore to move stuff. Seem reasonable? I'm thinking dd of the raw partitions would be easiest, but then I wouldn't be able to increase partition sizes with it. Will I have to worry about the boot block?
