copying system install to dissimiliar new server

2003-04-02 Thread Jon Reynolds
I am wondering if there is a way to setup a server using FreeBSD4.7 and
after I have it configured to my liking, can I clone it then put the
image on a system that has completly different hardware? Is it the 'dd'
command I need to research for this or is there some other way?

Thanks for any help or suggestions,

Use dump and restore to backup entire filesystem images, since that 
will handle special device files properly.  Note that you can also 
simply copy over /etc/rc.conf onto a fresh install of 4.7 and that will 
include all of the system config stuff you've done.
