Hi, I have several thumb drives and had disks. To be able to exchange the hard disks, all devices are bootable. I have tested the setup some time ago and it did not give me problems to boot from the external media via USB. I will take two hard disks as an example: => 63 976773105 ada0 MBR (465G) 63 1953 - free - (976k) 2016 976771152 1 freebsd (465G) => 0 976771152 ada0s1 BSD (465G) 0 10240000 1 freebsd-ufs (4.9G) 10240000 32768000 2 freebsd-swap (15G) 43008000 10240000 4 freebsd-ufs (4.9G) 53248000 10240000 5 freebsd-ufs (4.9G) 63488000 102400000 6 freebsd-ufs (48G) 165888000 810883144 7 freebsd-ufs (386G) 976771144 8 - free - (4.0k) => 34 976773098 da0 GPT (465G) 34 128 1 freebsd-boot (64k) 162 6 - free - (3.0k) 168 10485760 2 freebsd-ufs (5.0G) 10485928 33554432 3 freebsd-swap (16G) 44040360 10485760 4 freebsd-ufs (5.0G) 54526120 10485760 5 freebsd-ufs (5.0G) 65011880 104857600 6 freebsd-ufs (50G) 169869480 806903648 7 freebsd-ufs (384G) 976773128 4 - free - (2.0k) The system started from ada0. It fails to start from da0 now. Before I switch the disks, does anybody know of something which causes the problem? If this matters, I did this with an X220 ThinkPad.
