Hi Managers,

I am trying to move root disk (ADVFS) to a new disk on a 5.1A system.
I have made a newroot_file on the new disk, I then do
vdump -0 -f - / | (cd /newroot; vrestore -x -f -)
but I forgot about one command that will make the new disk bootable.

I have moved old root disk to new a disk on 4.0x systems before. I could not
find that on new docs for 5.1a.
I will swap the disk and make the new disk taking over the scsi 0 that was
used by the old disk. Will this still work for 5.1A?

Thank you.
