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. ________________________________ From: Edward <mys...@rdtan.net> To: Dánielisz László <laszlo_daniel...@yahoo.com> Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sent: Thu, September 23, 2010 3:37:42 AM Subject: Re: migrate system disk > I have an old HDD which should be replaced soon, actually that HDD stands as > my > > > system disk, what is your suggesion, how should I migrate the FreeBSD 8.1 > from > the old disk to the new one?
