All my googling has turned up is > suggestions like dd if=/dev/acd0 ... but I neither have nor can create (with > MAKEDEV) /dev/acd0 (only /dev/acd0a and /dev/acd0c - FreeBSD 4.8) You want to use /dev/acd0c - the 'c' partition covers the whole disk. Something like: dd if=/dev/acd0c of=foo.iso bs=64k should do what you want.
