Hi: I'm moving my server to new hardware, but I will preserve the disk making the necessary changes to the configuration before the move. The first problem is that I have no idea how my disk will be recognized, now the root partition is on /dev/ad6s1a. The second problem is that the server is headless. I pretty much have to guess and remember. I have no way of knowing if a command was successful. oh, and the third problem is that this new one uses a USB keyboard and I only have a PS2 keyboard. This means that I need to figure out how the hard disk will be recognized so it will be mounted properly at first attempt. Or else have to go out investing in a lot of extra hardware. Any trick for doing this? Thanks, Erik
