Okay, I give up! I try the whole thing like 20 times and still not working.
I'm not able to boot from the new device, it always says:
FreeBSD/i386 boot
Default: 0: ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel
boot:
No /boot/kernel/kernel

Do you have any other idea?
ps: Yes I set the bootflag in sysinstall -> fdisk and I do pressed 'w' to write 
the changes, it says is ok.

I've used to do this a lot for server hardware migration, moving from 1
server to another new server. This blog post recorded what I tried & did :

Check it out,
