Hi there! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (1) You MAY TRY Frenzy [ http://frenzy.org.ua/en/ ] FreeBSD LiveCD distribution for the task. I didn't, but, I think, it MAY help you. ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2) I failed to do thing like this from the FreeBSD CD in FixIt mode... It said something like "not enough space (on a memory filesystem)", *as I remember*. (3) My way: I first install a minimal distribution of FreeBSD on a new machine, then do something like # cd / && gunzip -c /mnt/remote_storage/old_host_root.dmp.gz | restore -ruf - <...> # shutdown now <...> # exit (or <ctrl> + <D>) login: <...> :) Good luck!
