If you're running 3.1 or above, you could stick the new drive in your
system, slice it up as needed, and add the new space to the existing
filesystems with Vinum volume manager.
Otherwise, my suggestion would be to put the new drive in the system,
run sysinstall on it, they copy the files from the existing disk to
the new one before removing the original disk.
I usually just wait until the next upgrade to switch drives and do
a fresh install on the new drive, but I'm a masochist.
I wonder what it would take to get PowerQuest to add BSD ufs to
Partition Magic?
