As far as I know, as long as your drive configuration is the the
same (/root on ide0 disk 1 would be ide0 disk 1 on the new machine
as well) then it should work without a hitch. I'll be upgrading my
machine in the near future as well, so any insight on this is much
apprecaited.
Should be ok (both above and below) as long as you move all the SCSI
cards or map your ide/sata drives the same. I have done this before
without issue

Hello;
I have a machine running with FreeBSD 6.0 running on AMD64 socket
754 and Elite Group motherboard. It has been up and running
without problem continuously for about 5 weeks now (although I am
the only one connecting to it at present). I have purchased
a new mother board and cpu. The new mb is Gigabyte GA-K8N-SLI and
the new cpu is Athlon 64 socket 939. It has extended PCI slots and
I am planning on swapping the FreeBSD installation to the new
motherboard and processor. If I just move the hard drives
and SCSI adapter to the new machine will it run on the different
motherboard and processor? Or do I have to install FreeBSD
specifically on the new machine?
The reason I'm considering this is because the AMD64 754 machine
has a SCSI adapter made for an extended PCI slot.
The mb has only standard PCI slots so the adapter isn't being used
optimally. So I would be swapping the main drive (ata) and two
SCSI drives (assigned usr and var partitions, respectively), as
well as the adapter.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance;
JK
