I am bothered by this thought. Let's say my old SATA disk is da0 and I 
attach the SSD as da1 for copying the filesystem via dump+restore. Next 
I remove the SATA entirely and reboot. Now will the SSD still be da1 ? 
If not, then I have no way of knowing how to configure /etc/fstab for 
the SSD.

Incidentally, I don't know whether this is relevant - my system will be 
a dual boot PC, with Win XP as secondary OS. I think that means that I 
cannot use GPT and I will have to use MBR for partitioning. Am I right 
about that ?

Thanks for your help
