Thanks Sir!
What is the easiest way to make sure the new disk is bootable.
Also, it just occured to me....we have a few different versions of SCSI
drives SCSI-2 SAS etc.
Can I assume the the da driver will handle all these OK...ie. should not see
any fstab problems?

Hi all,
I have serveral machines that are running different versions of FreeBSD.
Each machine only has 1 hard disk, but they all have a CD ROM and USB
available.
I have built a pristine system with all packages and ports installed that
I need.
I am now wanting to clone this to all the machines. The dificulty being
that they all have various Disk sizes and interfaces (i.e. SCSI 3, SAS,
etc).
I am wondering how everyone else might handle this situation. BTW, The
new build uses a standard Generic kernel, i386 build.
I was thinking of:
Booting with a live CD, refdisking, labeling, then using dumps from
memory stick.
Comments please,

Done that and it works. Don't forget also to install the boot blocks.
