Yes. It is called dd(1). If you have a secondary drive you want to
copy to:
$ dd if=/dev/hd[source drive] of=/dev/hd[dest drive] bs=1024k
ie: if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdc
Will copy the hard drive, boot sector and all, to a similar (or larger)
hard drive. You should boot to single-user mode first (although if you
don't it won't cause problems). If you mess up the if= and of= args, it
is all over. Upon bootup, it will fsck the first time, then everything
is good.
DriveImage claims to be able to image a Linux drive as well.
