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] 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 ?
