SUMMARY 2: Moving disks between machines

I had asked about this in January and finally got my rackmount kit for the
450, so I tried it this morning. It worked just fine, except for Disk
Suite complaining about a missing drive. The second of my mirrored drives
moved from t8 to t1, so I had to remove them from the metadb, reboot,
metareplace them, and readd them to the metadb. I did boot with -r and it
went fine. The 250 had a raptor gfx card that also made the move, the X
server was happy with it's location. The only thing that came out wrong is
that the tape drive switched locations, so I have rmt/0 that doesn't work,
and my dds-3 drive moved to rmt/1.

Thanks again for the help.
