Thanks for above link. I have a idea. Is it possible way tu resize UFS 
partition without data-loss to a smaller (equal or lower then 1.2 GB) 
size (which program or command can do it)? And then use g4u for cloning 
HDD? But i'm afraid that standard instalation of NetBSD 2.0.2 create 
more then one partiton (e.g. /boot, /, SWAP) and if I resize the "/" 
partition, SWAP partition will be still behind the 1.2 GB limit of my 
new HDD.

Yes but I installed only a few packakges as i need. I think which 
unneeded folders from NetBSD 2.0.2 installation i can delete and this 
operation do NOT harm the operating system. (Now my partiton with NetBSD 
occuping 1.45 GB and i have to reduce it.)

After migrate process how can I create corresponding swap on the end of 
disk on new 1.2 GB HDD?

PS: Im newbie in BSD world. I using M$ on desktop and a little linux on 
students servers. But one of theese serveres have something bad on 
motherboard and NetBSD is only one stable system on this hardware (I 
tried M$, Debian Linux/Hurd, SuSE, Ferdora, Hurd, Free/Open/NetBSD on 
that hardware.). And so, IMHO, NetBSD is prittyest from BSDs.
