I would like to do the same for BSD system but i have two issues: - as the UFS write support is still experimental in the Linux kernel, it seems that i've to use a BSD liveCD but i can't find one :-/ I heard about frenzy ( http://frenzy.org.ua/en/ ) but the homepage says that the project is no longer maintained ! - i'm wondering how to restore the bootloader after copying the files on the second box. On linux, i can use the grub-install script to do the job but i'm a bit lost on FreeBSD :-) Thanks for your help !
