I was curious if FreeBSD would complain if I transplanted a fully set up
harddrive to a newer faster pentium box. I would be using the same NIC's
and no extra peripherals. Everything that I can think of like the
harddrive controllers and Serial ports,etc.. use rather standard IRQ's etc
so I was wondering if anyone has had any success in an "operation" like
this or knew any reason that I am overlooking that it will not work.
(i.e. Win95 seems to be able to find lots of things to complain about if
you do this sort of thing, but FreeBSD "appears" to me to be more generic
and perhaps forgiving...)
Any advice is welcome.
