I have a freebsd 12 system, UFS boots /ada0p2.  Mounts some ZFS partitions and I'm away. I add a new PCIe card with a SATA SSD, and it grabs ada0. I want to move my boot to the SSD, not least because the boot priority now favours it as ada0, and I had to manually boot ada1p2. There's not much on ada1p2 now, but I want the new ada0p2 to be smaller, so dd is not attractive. What's the easiest way to set ata0 to be much like ada0p2 was (given that I booted from ada1p2)? Ideally I'd like boot and swap etc set up as well, which I kinda did already with sade. I already had the issue with freebsd-install/MANIFTEST missing and did a basic install to ada0, but it seems a bit naff to unmount all my ZFS mountpoints just to tar across all the rest of it. Any pointers?
