Hi folks!

Congratulations for the great work being done on this SO.
But I have a question.

I've got a bigger hard disk and trying to switch the root/boot disk.
Followed these instructions:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/disks.html#NEW-HUGE-DISK

Not reinstalled the system. Just duplicated data.

So when the startup begins I get the prompt:

F1 FreeBSD
F5 Drive 1

strike F1 > boots normal
strike F5 > get the following  prompt:

F1 FreeBSD
F5 Frive0

strike F5 > return to previous prompt
strike F1 > get this message

"invalid partition"

What's going on?

Or should I try another method? :)

thanks in advance,
