Re: HOWTO: Move FreeBSD to a new hard disk
by John Campbell on Tuesday October 19, @09:01PM
This worked great and really was well done. My only addition would be that you need to make sure you are on the same controller while doing this, or you will need to update /backup/root/etc/fstab.

I needed to install a new IDE controller at the same time as my old one could not boot the new drive. So, I had to change ad0 to ad5 after the restore.

thanks again!
