I have a backup from all partitions of the affected system so I am = trying to install a minimum FreeBSD 6.0 in a different hardware which I already = have up and running. I created a Swap Partition, a =93/=94 partition where the minimum system = is running, and a third partition =93/backup=94 in which I will restore the = backup through the network. Next step will be to change the boot manager and make it boot through =93/backup=94. =20 Do you guys think this is doable? I Think I probably must recompile the kernel after the bare metal = recovery because the hardware is different, still do you think it might work? What is your opinion on this? What should be the best approach ? Thanks for reading and=20 Best regards=20 =20 Nuno =20
