     Is it possible to swap a 4100 running V5.1 with another 4100? There
     are 3 HSZ70 controllers on this 4100 and I would recable and attach
     them to the new 4100. Also, I would bring over all the HBA's and
     network cards and place them in the same slots as they were in on the
     old system. If I do this, will I just be able to rebuild the kernel
     using genvmunix? I am a little concerned about this because of all
     hwid assignments. Although I am going to bring over everything, even
     the cpus and memory modules, I am little concerned because I haven't
     tried anything like this in V5.1. In V4.0F it would have worked just
     fine, I know that for a fact. Before I boot, I will make sure that my
     "POO>> show dev" looks exactly like it did on the old system. Has
     anyone tried this? Any suggestions/ideas will be greatly appreciated.
