Hi if i was to make a backup of my whole os data files every thing execpt boot sectors and then place them on to a diffrint machine with a boot sector from an install, if /etc/fstab and the kernel have been changed or will match (will run on new system due to mods or existing cappabilty) should every thing run ok? to sum up apart form /etc/fstab and the kernel there are no other files that should cause me problams are there (ie system spesfic (holding hardware info etc..) files that i need to watch for) (these files could be edited or replaced by the install that created the boot sector) also is there any way of easily backing up the boot sector on freebsd this is all related to wd style (ATA, ide) disks thanks alot alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
