Hi, I've bought a new disk and tried to move my FreeBSD 5.1 release on it. Even I'm a real newbie I've followed all the steps from faq/disks 9.2 carrefuly /*eg. dump 0af - / | restore xf -*/ and finally set bootable in sysinstall. All the data are there when I tried to mount it but it is still bugging me with 'invalid partition' message during boot. Here are some data that might help you to help me: ad1s1 and ad1s3 are just data. /,/var,/tmp,/swp are all on ad1s2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sysinstall-fdisk output:
Disk name: ad1 FDISK Partition Editor DISK Geometry: 4863 cyls/255 heads/63 sectors = 78124095 sectors (38146MB) Offset Size(ST) End Name PType Desc Subtype Flags 0 63 62 - 12 unused 0 63 27262242 27262304 ad1s2 8 freebsd 165 27262305 26073495 53335799 ad1s3 8 freebsd 165 53335800 24788295 78124094 ad1s1 8 freebsd 165 78124095 905 78124999 - 12 unused 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 'Boot0cfg -v ad1' output: # flag start chs type end chs offset size 1 0x00 1023:255:63 0xa5 1023:254:63 53335800 24788295 2 0x80 0: 1: 1 0xa5 1023:254:63 63 27262242 3 0x00 1023:255:63 0xa5 1023:254:63 27262305 26073495 version=1.0 drive=0x80 mask=0xf ticks=182 options=packet,update,nosetdrv default_selection=F2 (Slice 2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for any suggestion.
