its quite simple... boot into single user mode, foreach partition you have, mount the src under /src/X and /dst/X (where src is the old disk and dst is the new disk) and do a:
cd /src/X; tar cf -  . | (cd /dst/X; tar xpf - )

ive used this before, works great.
after that just make sure you install your boot blocks.

Hello!
I need to move my OpenBSD 3.6 installation to a bigger disk, because
the /usr partition is 92% full. And no, I cannot keep both disks. I
searched google and found nothing similar to my situation.
I think I can partition and label the new disk, dd the / partition,
then copy /var and /usr with tar/pax/cpio, switch the disks and pray
it works.
Do you think the above steps might work or did anyone do this before?
Thank you for your time.
