Okay,
In taking the advice of an earlier poster in suggesting that the
instructions located here:
http://www.unixcities.com/howto/
Are rather old, allow me to make my question a little broader in
scope:
What is the best way to clone a disk in FreeBSD? Do you have any
step-
by-step instructions? The instructions I used above (even replacing
the restore -r flag with a -x) produced a core dump.
Can I use DD on two disks of different size? Do you recommend Ghost
for Unix? Any other suggestions or recommendations should the dump
command just not work for me?
One of our grad students recently posted a how to on using Frisbee
here at
ISIS. The only difference is that you'll need another server
somewhere with
imagezip install instead of ours. You can find the how to here:
https://research.isis.vanderbilt.edu/ir_wiki/
Using_Frisbee_to_take_an_image_of_a_hard_drive
Please let us know if it contains any omissions or errors and we'll
fix the
page. Btw, I've been told that this will only image a partition,
not the
master boot record, so you'll need that on the destination as well.
This is what emulab uses to image drives, and works for several OS's,
including FreeBSD, Linux, and Windows.

Thanks Don!
However, I'm not completely sure that I have the disk space available
to create an image. I was actually looking to do a complete copy of
one local disk to another local disk, not create an image of the disk
for deployment. Do these instructions still apply?
