Did you toggle any jumpers on the drive? I finally gave up and returned it.

A new day, a new disk (with 512 byte sectors).

I installed mbr, partitioned the disk, prepped the plan9 partition and
formatted fossil on the new drive. Here's how my old and new disks
look.

I would like to copy 9fat, nvram and fossil from the old drive to the
new drive. 9fat is no problem. But how about nvram? Can I just use dd?
As for fossil, I have not been able to figure out how to do this.
replica(1) looks like has the capability to do this, but I don't want
to experiment with my live data. Someone who knows how to do this,
please advise. Also, do I need to run any additional fossil commands?

The goal is to retire the old disk and boot off the new one with the
only difference being that there is more free space now.
