But, won't doing a dd between two disks with incompatible sizes create a bad
partition table on the destination drive?
Basically yes, at least an incorrect one, even if you can make it work.
It is much better to build your slices, partitions and file systems
and then move your old data using

But, won't doing a dd between two
Hope it's ok to continue this thread, but can you explain in more
detail how to use dd to copy a HD. I read man dd and was
unable to
figure out how this is done.
Thanks,

Yes, I guess I should mention that the drives were on the same machine,
actually the same bus and/or channel. I have also done this on Solaris.
I believe it was Solaris 8, but it works just the same. I am not sure
if it would work over a network. Just make sure you dd the disk as a
whole
So, clearly dd'ing the drive to another drive won't work.
How can I replicate the boot block and partition table from my
existing drive onto a new one in freebsd?
In solaris, I'd use prtvtoc | fmthard, then dd...
Thanks :)

I have used dd to image a drive many times before in freebsd. It works
like a champion and will boot up just fine. I may have misunderstood
your mail but if not then it will work.
Well, maybe my weird over ssh calling a setuid program that calls a
script dd was flawed somehow. I'll do it
