I'm about to move my system, I've read the FAQ, I don't want to rearrange anything. I want to make sure I have the process down correctly before I try, so I am asking here. I am using 6.0 #2. First, I hook up both drives. I partition the new hard drive and label it the same way as the previous drive. Then, I would reboot to single-user mode. I would use newfs to create new file systems form each new partition. I mount each partition in turn to a temporary mount point and change directory to the newly mounted partition. Then the FAQ gives the following command for the dump-copy process: dump 0af - / | restore xf - This is to be used without modification for each partition. It this really it? It seems... easy. Thanks, Oliver
