As far as I know, as long as your drive configuration is the the same
(/root on ide0 disk 1 would be ide0 disk 1 on the new machine as well)
then it should work without a hitch. I'll be upgrading my machine in the
near future as well, so any insight on this is much apprecaited.

Hello;
I have a machine running with FreeBSD 6.0 running on AMD64 socket 754
and Elite Group motherboard. It has been up and running without
problem continuously for about 5 weeks now (although I am the only one
connecting to it at present). I have purchased
a new mother board and cpu. The new mb is Gigabyte GA-K8N-SLI and the
new cpu is Athlon 64 socket 939. It has extended PCI slots and I am
planning on swapping the FreeBSD installation to the new motherboard
and processor. If I just move the hard drives
and SCSI adapter to the new machine will it run on the different
motherboard and processor? Or do I have to install FreeBSD
specifically on the new machine?
The reason I'm considering this is because the AMD64 754 machine has
a SCSI adapter made for an extended PCI slot.
The mb has only standard PCI slots so the adapter isn't being used
optimally. So I would be swapping the main drive (ata) and two SCSI
drives (assigned usr and var partitions, respectively), as well as the
adapter.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance;
JK
