my 1.2 GHz could simply be moved from one machine to another and just work without having to reinstall or recompile FreeBSD or not. I would think that I could just move the drive to another machine and boot from it, given the fact that Intel loves making their instruction sets backwards compatible, but I just need to make sure since I don't want to invest in something more expensive and discover I have to start from square one.
I do this fairly often, between similar architectures, using the default kernel. You may have to update hostname, IP, DHCP config, etc depending on how your system/network is configured. But, as always, make sure you have a good backup. You should also have a live cd (like FreeSBIE) handy in case your drive designations change or some hardware is not supported. -- -- Perfection is just a word I use occasionally with mustard. --Atom Powers-- _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
