Is the virtual machine using SCSI emulation to boot, or is it using IDE?
SCSI drives are da(4), IDE drives are ata(4) [aka ad(4)]
The dump was taken from an ad0 device on physical hardware, and I'm
attempting to restore to the same, just on virtual hardware.
If the boot blocks (maybe boot0 specific) point to an ad/ata device,
and the virtual machine is SCSI, it won't find the boot sectors.
So, if I make a dumpfile of / on an ad(4) device, I can't restore it
to a da(4) device and expect it to boot? I guess at minimum I'll need
two copies of this image if I want to roll it out on machines with
both sorts of drive, right?
Thanks,
AJ
