I used restore to put a working dump over an old drive. I did a newfs = on the slice first. When booting, it puts out the message loading the = kernel and hangs for over an hour. I booted in verbose mode and got = some more information. It puts out the message about starting init = before the hang, but that's the last message. I know it is reading the = drive properly because I changed fstab from the physical entry for root = to the label and the boot message properly showed the new label entry. = Just before the init message there are a number of messages about = alignment not being correct. I understand that the performance of the = drive would be affected by that, but I didn't think that should cause a = hang. Lots of information and test measurements on the performance, but = no indications that it should hang. I suspect that particular drive was = formatted many years ago and it's highly likely its not 4k aligned. I = am going to try again later today after restructuring the drive. -- Doug
