@ T-Daemon,
Before I take action in response to your above reply (25) I need your comments in relation to the following boot message that has occurred in the meantime.
Is this error somehow linked to your prescriptions in (20)?
I have not made any changes to the new AMD64 installation, other than following your recommendations in (20) and also trying to get it working with /data in lucky backup. Would the backup attempts have resulted in the boot error? Or do you suspect something else, e.g., I thought da0pl related to the boot metric & da0p2 to ufs, but here we are using the former in the installation.
I take your point about refraining from doing a complete system backup, however, would it be theoretically possible to do so given an exclusion definition for the /data directory?
Coming from Windows, with virtually no experience with Unix, I expected to see two directory structures in lucky backup, one for the external hard drive & one for the internal drive, but you seem to have now explained that away with the need for the exclusion aspect.
Thanks again for your help
