I am sorry if this is a freq. asked one, but I did not see it in any FAQ Basically, I would like to move a FreeBSD installation to a newer, bigger harddrive. Here's what I think I need to do: * Partition the new harddisk reasonably. * Mount the new partitions. * Copy everything over to the respective partitions - here's my first question: Which command do I preferably use for that to get everything over. * Somehow get the new harddisk to boot (replacing the boot order in the SCSI controller) * Somehow tell FreeBSD the mounting points Can someone please pinpoint me in the right direction? Thanks. Raoul -- GMX - Die Kommunikationsplattform im Internet. http://www.gmx.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
