1. will the s1a slice dump the entire system, that is, the a, d, e, f
and g slices or is it partitions?
The ad0s1 slice (containing the a, d, e, f and g partitions) can
be copied 1:1 with dd. By using dump + restore, the partitions
need to be copied after another. In each case, the entire system
will be copied. For this purpose, even the long lasting
# dd if=/dev/ad0 of=/dev/da0 bs=1m
This copies everything on the disk, including sectors not used by a
filesystem. So it usually takes a while.
# dd if=/dev/ad0 of=/dev/da0 bs=512 count=1
Not necessary, the first block was already copied, well, first.
