Heh.  I just ported a great long screed about copying disk to disk to
questions at freebsd.org a few days ago.  You can see that message here:
http://www.geocrawler.com/lists/3/FreeBSD/151/175/9047337/  

You can copy your disk contents from one disk to another quite handily
using just the tools that come with the system.  There are more ways
to do the job than I mentioned in that message though...

	Cheers,
