Hi,Without reading it, I would first try this, it's quite straightforward
This is my first day on the list so please pardon me if I am on the wrong
list and any mistakes I make.
I would like to create a bootable clone of a HDD running BSD version 4.8. I
have experience of cloning linux machines successfully but understand that
freebsd is a little different.
please, try to clone your disk as described in the FAQ
"9.2. How do I move my system over to my huge new disk?":
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/disks.html#NEW-HUGE-DISK
* boot into single user mode (enter "boot -s" at loader prompt)
* make sure filesystems are mounted readonly (mount)
dd if=/dev/ad0 of=/dev/ad1 bs=1m
(where ad0 is your disk with data and ad1 is your new disk, make sure
you do not swap them :)
