Thanks. I have mounted my new hard drive to /mnt.
Then I ran : /usr/mdec/installboot -v /mnt/boot /usr/mdec/biosboot sd2 Telling me that /boot will be written at sector 64. But I'm still booting with my old hdd :( Tried to enter boot hd1k:/bsd at boot prompt but it's telling me that no such file or directory. Seems my drive is good as during the early bootstage I have hd0+ (my old hdd) and hd1+ (new hdd). Can this be due to the fact my filesystem is currently read-only, as I have no more space left on my root partition ? 2013/5/14 Otto Moerbeek <o...@drijf.net> > On Tue, May 14, 2013 at 11:08:49AM +0200, Adrien wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > I have added a second hard drive in my virtual machine, as my root > > partition is full.
