The easyest way is install FreeBSD on this disk and then untar over. Disable all servises before untar - cron, nfs so on. More powerfull is fdisk, disklabel and newfs disk booting FreeBSD on another disk then mount a slise in some dir (/mnt as example) and mkdir /mnt/usr /mnt/var so on and mount slises on this dirs. then untar, then edit /mnt/etc/fstab and /mnt/boot/... But count, dump/restore is better in regard of precision of fs details copied. > If any more info is needed please let me know. -- @BABOLO http://links.ru/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
