Try man dd. dd will copy the disk verbatim, so assuming they're the
same this will be a quick (and really, really dirty) way to do it. If
they are not the same, then you can use a dump/restore (via a pipe, no
need to actually STORE things) or a tar copy (again, via a pipe). You'd
have to partition first tho'.
