can someone remember me the problem w/ DD ? I guess that DD a drive is not
a problem if done w/in the state of the art (or something like that).
- what about to fdisk the destination drive w/ the same following values,
Supply a decimal value for "sysid (165=FreeBSD)" [165] 165
Supply a decimal value for "start" [63] 0
Supply a decimal value for "size" [6506262] <same size as the source partition>
to make sure that the partition table is "clean" since fdisk
recalculates the good parameters for begin/end CHS.
- backup this label using dd.
- dd your drive
- restore the backuped label
- disklabel -B to reinstall boot1 which don't override the partition table.
well, I don't have tested anything since I don't have any free drive to burn,
but the spirit is here, no ?
Cyrille.
