Let's say my old SATA disk is da0 and I attach the SSD as da1 for copying the filesystem via dump+restore. Next I remove the SATA entirely and reboot. Now will the SSD still be da1 ? If not, then I have no way of knowing how to configure /etc/fstab for the SSD. Incidentally, I don't know whether this is relevant - my system will be a dual boot PC, with Win XP as secondary OS. I think that means that I cannot use GPT and I will have to use MBR for partitioning. Am I right about that ? Thanks for your help Manish Jainhelp
