Subject: Migrating FreeBSD to a bigger harddrive...

I am sorry if this is a freq. asked one, but I did not se= e it in any FAQ

Basically, I would like to move a FreeBSD installation to= a newer,
bigger harddrive.
Here's what I think I need to do:
* Partition the new harddisk reasonably.
* Mount the new partitions.
* Copy everything over to the respective partitions - he= re's my first
question: Which command do I preferably use for that to = get everything
over.
* Somehow get the new harddisk to boot (replacing the bo= ot order in the
SCSI controller)
* Somehow tell FreeBSD the mounting points

Can someone please pinpoint me in the right direction?

Thanks.

Raoul
