yeah disks need to be identical but why do you need to do prtvtoc and fmthard
to duplicate the disk label (before the dd), I thought that dd would take care
of all of that... whenever I used dd I used it on slice 2 and I never had to do
prtvtoc and fmthard... Juts make sure disks are identical
you don't really need to do the prtvtoc and fmthard with the old Sun
labels if you start at cylinder 0 since you're doing a bit - bit
copy with dd .. but, keep in mind:
- The Sun VTOC is the first 512B and s2 *typically* should start at
cylinder 0 (unless it's been redefined .. check!)

have to build 10 of those in 2 days. Once I build the disks I slam
minor adjustments below...

It seems that if you clone disks bit for bit you'll end up with the
same hostid for all boxes and this may be confusing.
Geez, just spoof them to something different, if you must.
