The disk device name (ad4) is the same but the geometry for the new drive has a CHS of 969021/16/63 On booting it hangs at: F1 FreeBSD Boot: F1 I copied the MBR with 'boot0cfg -B -opacket ad4' just to be sure but no joy. fbsd fdisk reports start 63, with CHS beg: 0/1/1 end: 1023/15/63. Any help on direction to solve this? Thanks. -- Jim Flowers
