Hello, I'm trying to transfer FreeBSD 2.2 from a 420M IDE HD to a 1G IDE HD and am hoping someone can help me out a bit. First of all, is this possible/ a good idea without reinstalling the distributions? Next, I'm having problems 'newfs'ing the drive - in sysinstall when I try to write the labels for the allocated partitions I get: Unable to add /dev/wd0s1b as a swap device [OK] ... (newfs -b 8192 -f 1024 /dev/rwd0s1a) panic: ufs_lock: recursive lock not expected, pid 738 (system then reboots) Any ideas what the problem is here? Also, should I leave LBA on in BIOS for the 1G drive (FBSD will get the whole thing) and will I need to change any geometry settings in FBSD? Finally, If and when I get all the above working, can I simply copy FreeBSD over to the new drive? Thanks in advance, Gerard. Additional info, if it helps: Pentium-75. 1G HD is master, 420M is slave.
