Hello list.
My laptop has a 200Gb drive, dual booting W7 and Freebsd 8.0-release-p2.
From dmesg
ad4: 190782MB <Seagate ST9200420ASG 3.ADE> at ata2-master SATA300
I've now got a 500Gb drive that I want to install instead.
Cloning the W7 has worked without problems. I starts when I replace the
disk in the PC.
I put the original drive 200Gb back and I have the new 500Gb drive in a
ESATA docking station.
Boot into Freebsd, this is in dmesg:
ad8: FAILURE - SET_MULTI status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=4<ABORTED>
ad8: 476940MB <Seagate ST9500420ASG 0002SDM1> at ata4-master SATA300
Does someone know what the failure is about?
Next I do su and starts sysinstall.
In fdisk I create a slice and prees Q for finish.
Exit sysinstall and start it again.
Create my mountpoints with disklabel. I copy the values from the 200Gb
disk appart from home that I make bigger.

ad8s3f /mnt/newusr 20480MB *
ad8s3g /mnt/newhome remaining free space approx 300Gb *
I exit sysinstall and start it again and now the disk is layed out as
you can see below.

I don't really understand this and would like some help to get it right.
