Replacing harddrive

[Leslie Jensen]

Hello list.

My laptop has a 200Gb drive, dual booting W7 and Freebsd 8.0-release-p2.

 From dmesg
ad4: 190782MB <Seagate ST9200420ASG 3.ADE> at ata2-master SATA300


I've now got a 500Gb drive that I want to install instead.
Cloning the W7 has worked without problems. I starts when I replace the 
disk in the PC.

I put the original drive 200Gb back and I have the new 500Gb drive in a 
ESATA docking station.

Boot into Freebsd, this is in dmesg:

ad8: FAILURE - SET_MULTI status=51<READY,DSC,ERROR> error=4<ABORTED>
ad8: 476940MB <Seagate ST9500420ASG 0002SDM1> at ata4-master SATA300

Does someone know what the failure is about?


Next I do su and starts sysinstall.

In fdisk I create a slice and prees Q for finish.

Exit sysinstall and start it again.

Create my mountpoints with disklabel. I copy the values from the 200Gb 
disk appart from home that I make bigger.

I exit sysinstall and start it again and now the disk is layed out as 
you can see below.

I don't really understand this and would like some help to get it right.

Thanks
