What was ad4 is now ad6; the new disk is ad4. I copied everything from ad0 to 
ad4, except the root fs's history and /tmp and the boot sector. I edited 
/etc/fstab and /boot/loader.conf and rebooted into single-user mode. 
Everything looked fine. I exited single-user mode and got a stream of missing 
inode errors.
