First question: Is 80 too big for FreeBSD? Should I use a smaller HD? What is the maximum size for a HD that FreeBSD can use? OK OK, three questions in one, but anyone that has taken a physics test should be used to this. :P Second question: What is your recommendation for partitioning? I know this is entirely a personal opinion, however maybe things have changed since I last setup my current system. Third question: How do I migrate all the data from my two Hard Drives to the one? I am sure I could find this information on the web, but thought I would take a chance and ask anyway.
