Sorry, I send it and I even notice
In the disk I have 3 OS (FreeDOS, XP and FreeBSD)
I use PartitionWizard to create the 3 slice in the new disk (ad4)
I use ghost.exe (2003 version) to pass FreeDOS and XP to the new slices in ad4
I boot in FreeBSD (in ad0) and with sysinstall, create the partitions in ad4
and using the next commands, I pass the info in my 4 partiotios
(/ /tmp /var /usr)
newfs /dev/ad4s3a
mount /dev/ad4s3a /mnt
cd /mnt
dump 0af - / | restore rf -
I modify /mnt/etc/fstab to reflect ad4 as the only disk
I turn off the PC, remove ad0 disk and turn on the PC, but FreeBSD do not boot
I forgot to mention taht I had activated the 3rd slice of the disk, if I
activate the 1st slice, FreeDOS boot
So I reconect ad0 and boot FreeBSD (from ad0) and use the next command
bsdlabel -B /dev/ad4s3
But do not work either.
Do I really need to reinstall the OS on the new disk ad4 and tranfer my info
with the commands as described in
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/disks.html#NEW-HUGE-DISK
