Your old SCSI disk was da0. Apparently your new IDE disk is ad1. At the very least, you need to manually mount the / partition and edit the /etc/fstab file to reflect this. A "live cd" like FreeSBIE (http://www/freesbie.org) may help you mount that partition and edit the file.
Now please tell me what must I do ;and refer me to a compelete step by step guide in mounting partition of this IDE disk (which the image of a SCSI disk is on it.)and no change perform to partitions for properly working of squid cache.
Your applications should all refer to files, not partitions. So with the /etc/fstab file fixed, everything should work again. You may have other hardware that will require changes to configuration files; a different network board, for example.
Incidentally, this same problem can occur even if you use the "proper" backup tools (dump/restore). It's the contents of the fstab file, not the way you've transferred it.
