Is there an operating system booting from the current wd0 (the newer drive)? If not, why not install the older drive as the master drive? If there is an operating system booting from the newer drive, consider trying this: 1. Boot from the newer drive's operating system. 2. Try to mount the older drive. 3. Make a backup copy of /etc/fstab on the older drive. 4. Edit /etc/fstab on the older drive to reflect the new hardware configuration. I hope this helps.
