I have a new hard drive, one that's a lot bigger than the other three I
have running BSD.  FreeBSD is spanned across three hard drives
currently, and I'd like to transfer their information to this new hard
drive.  Does anyone have a safe idea on how I can get the system
transfered from a three disk-based FreeBSD system to one hard disk?

The three disks are all around 425M, and the new one is a 3.2G or 3.1G.

I'd really appreciate some advice if you can spare it.

Thanks,
