Computer B is a production machine and didn't want it offline while I figured out all the niggly bits. Can I take the SCSI disk from A and put in in B ? I did not customize the kernel. In addition to what Jerry mentioned, make sure that the /etc/fstab file is set up properly for the new machine; alternatively, make sure the drive is in the same logical location in the new machine (e.g., da0 on one should be da0 on the other). Otherwise, you end up in single user, or not booting at all.

If they are both SCSI drives and the two machines are sufficiently similar - no special compiled in features, NIC cards use the same drivers to they address the same, etc, then it should be no problem.
