    Hi, How I put various partitions on larger drives is
    1.format the drive (some times /stand/sysintall, sometimes by hand)
    2.mount the new drive some where as what ever. (mount /dev/ad3s1e /mnt)
    3.Copy over the data from the folder ( usually use cpio)
    4. change fstab to fit
    5. reboot
     as far as I know that is KISS (keep it simple stupid)
