Greetings,

Here is yet another of my seeming endless stupid questions.  Will 
this work???

THE GOAL:
   Add new Hard Disk -> need more space for FBSD!

THE SETUP:
   sd0 == 2.1G Seagate Barracuda (wide) / WINNT 4.0 
   sd1 == 1.0G Quantum SCSI II / FBSD
THE PLAN:
   1: Add new disk ( IBM ULTRASTAR ES ultra-wide ) as sd2.
   2: Move ( copy ) NT to sd2. 
   3: Replace sd1 with the Seagate and install FBSD on it.

THE QUESTION:
   
   Can I use dd to move the NT installation from one disk to another
with something like....

    dd if=/dev/rfd0 of=/dev/rfd2

and expect to succeed?

Thanks much

Randy
