Hello,

I'm trying to transfer FreeBSD 2.2 from a 420M IDE HD to a 1G IDE HD and
am hoping someone can help me out a bit. First of all, is this possible/
a good idea without reinstalling the distributions? Next, I'm having 
problems 'newfs'ing the drive - in sysinstall when I try to write the
labels
for the allocated partitions I get:

	Unable to add /dev/wd0s1b as a swap device	[OK]
	...
	(newfs -b 8192 -f 1024 /dev/rwd0s1a)
	panic: ufs_lock: recursive lock not expected, pid 738

	(system then reboots)

Any ideas what the problem is here? Also, should I leave LBA on in BIOS
for
the 1G drive (FBSD will get the whole thing) and will I need to change
any
geometry settings in FBSD? Finally, If and when I get all the above
working,
can I simply copy FreeBSD over to the new drive?

Thanks in advance, Gerard.


Additional info, if it helps:
Pentium-75. 1G HD is master, 420M is slave.
