Thanks Chuck,
I was kinda thinkning Dump and Restore might be the way to go.
I have never tried to use it to make a bootable disk though...does it do it
automaticly or should I read something? (What)?
Thanks again,
-Grant

I the answer is yes to the first question (original question), then,
what happens if one 'dd's a small, say 36 GM disk to a larger one, say
73 GB. Can the newly made disk be resized so as not to loose 1/2 of it?
If you partition the bigger disk into two fdisk partitions, one of which
is
exactly the size of your original disk, you could use dd to copy the
contents of
the BSD slice from one disk to the other, and then use newfs to create a
separate filesystem on the second fdisk partition.
However, if you want to use the entire 73GB space at once, use dump and
restore
to copy the data instead. There's detailed documentation on this on the
FreeBSD
website...
