I have a need to clone a FreeBSD 2.2.7 system which is serving as a firewall. The approach that seems most elegant to me is to use the "fixit" floppy to lay out the harddrive, and then "recover" from a dump stream from the running firewall (on the LAN side, of course!). I'm just not sure that it is practical, with the existing fixit, to attempt that sort of network-based recovery (which is too bad, of course, as network shared tape drives are pretty common). If anyone would care to comment on my approach, or to suggest another, I'd be most appreciative.
