Here's what I think I need to do: * Partition the new harddisk reasonably. * Mount the new partitions. * Copy everything over to the respective partitions - here's my first question: Which command do I preferably use for that to get everything over. * Somehow get the new harddisk to boot (replacing the boot order in the SCSI controller) * Somehow tell FreeBSD the mounting points Can someone please pinpoint me in the right direction?
