I would label and newfs the partitions, then: mount /dev/da0a /mnt/usr mount /dev/da1a /mnt/var (you can't just type these in and expect them to work as shown) pax -r -w -p e -X /usr/ /mnt/usr (same thing for var) ee /etc/fstab (you might also want to boot into single user mode to clear the old /usr and /var mount points, since they'll be redundant) shutdown -r now and pray a lot. Notes: man pax, man bsdlabel, man newfs. All very important. -- --
