Windley) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: images copies of bootable disks Date: 05 Jan 1996 21:21:29 -0700 Organization: Laboratory for Applied Logic; Brigham Young University Lines: 15 Sender: windley@puma.cs.byu.edu Message-ID: <rflonmymuu.fsf@puma.cs.byu.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: puma.cs.byu.edu X-Newsreader: Gnus v5.0.4 I'd like to duplicate the disk in one FreeBSD system to make another one. My plan is to use disksetup and newfs to create a bootable disk with the same partitions and then use cpio or dd to transfer the data (the second disk is temporarily in the old machine). Does this sound like the right thing to dfo or is there a better way? -- __________________________________________________________________________ Phillip J. Windley, Asst.
