I have FreeBSD 2.2.2 installed on my primary slave IDE drive. I've
installed a new drive as primary master, and I want to move the FreeBSD
installation to the new drive. Is there an easy way to do this, or would I
be best to just reinstall?  ...FreeBSD is the only OS, so I don't need to
worry about partitions, boot managers, etc.

Thanks,

Patrick
