Nope, I have had machines that I upgraded from 4 to 5 and 6 without
changing the hard disk, and without changing the file system.

With no old disk installed, what is your mounted disks/partitions?
Result of mount -p.

If you have it what was the result of mount -p on the old machine.

What is the result of "fdisk /dev/ad0" ?

Install the old hard disk, what is the result of "fdisk /dev/ad1" ?
