My current system has two disks: sd0 is pure Win95, and sd1 is pure FreeBSD. I'm going to move the Win95 data to new system and remove the Win95 disk, leaving the FreeBSD disk alone. My plan is to a) recompile, using "root on sd0", and b) change the fstab to point to the correct places. (There may be other stuff, but that will come after the system boots correctly.) Is there anything else I need to change before pulling out the Win95 disk? Robert Huff
