Re: HOWTO: Move FreeBSD to a new hard disk

That worked nicely. Thanks. Some notes that people might find useful:
* I had to change "e" to "d" in the script. On my system, /var is on the d partition, not e. That's how the disklabel program on the installation CD sets things up if you press "A" for auto.
* I removed "tunefs -n enable /dev/ad1s1a" because by default the installer doesn't enable soft-updates on /, and I presumed there must have been a good reason for that.
* in console mode, you can use the scroll lock key (with the arrow keys) to scroll up to check for errors. The script won't abort on errors.
* dump gave a warning about the file system not being mounted read-only. I don't think that was anything, but my paranoia made me stop the script and remount the three file systems as read-only before restarting:
mount -u -r /
mount -u -r /var
mount -u -r /usr |
