Hi,

Santa brought me a new (SCSI) disk and I want to move all of my FreeBSD
partitions still on EIDE to it.  Everything went fine using
/stand/sysinstall to create and label the new partitions, mount them as
/mnt1 /mnt2 etc. and the files were copied with tar.  The only filesystem I
have not tried to move yet is /

Using /stand/sysinstall, each time I mount the new filesystem (vs. swap),
the letter assigned is 'e' and not 'a'.  Rather than guess, I figured I ask
the list what the proper thing to do regarding moving the root filesystem
is.

Thanks,
MikeC
