I recently added a second HD to my system and attempted to clone my
original disk. I used pax and cloned /usr and /. Both appear to
correct. The partition size and location for the root partitions on
each drive look to be identical.

I then edited the fstab on the new drive to mount /usr and /var from
the new drive and tried to boot it. The boot manager prompted me with:
F1 FreeBSD
F5 Disk 1

I entered F5 and was prompted with
F1 FreeBSD
F5 Disk0

I enter F1 and the system resets immediately and I start from
scratch. I mean resets to where it would be if I power cycled the
box. BIOS restarts.

My system is running 3-Stable as of 3/5/2000 on an AMD K6-2 on an ASUS
P5A running Award BIOS.

Does anyone have a clue what is happening here? Probably something
dumb. :-(
