- Thanks to all who e-mailed me responses. It seems that the tried and
- proven method is to partition the new disk appropriately and then
- with the original disk as sd0 and the new disk as sd1, mount the
- partitions from the new drive in /mnt, or some other mount point,
- and then:
-
- /etc/dump 0f - /dev/rsd0a | (cd /mnt; /etc/restore xf -)
-
- Thanks for the info.
