I'm not satisfied either with using dd - the machines are not : identical, there are some bits and pieces of config specific to each : machine. So far the best method was to do a make world, but it becomes : more and more a nuisance and waste of time... Two things. One, you could use DESTDIR to install the stuff, but it won't create a bootable disk. This + mergemaster is a good option to update an existing disk. The other option is do mount /usr/obj on the target machines and do an make installworld. This usually takes me about 20 minutes or so, which is much faster than any hardware-hacking I'd need to do to get a disk from one machine to another.
