Please CC me on replies.

I arrived home this afternoon to find a box had rebooted and is 
having trouble with its IDE drive.  A screen shot is at 
http://www.freebsddiary.org/tmp/ata-failure.jpg

My current plan:
1 - add a new IDE drive
2 - install FreeBSD on that
3 - run "fsck -y" each on each volume of the old drive
4 - copy content from the old to the new

Any suggestions/comments?
