If your new drive is wd1.

fdisk -u wd1

Make appropriate partitions to match wd0:

disklabel -e wd1

newfs your partitions...=20

newfs /dev/wd1a
newfs /dev/wd1e ....=20

Mount all the file systems under /mnt..=20

mount /dev/wd1a /mnt
mount /dev/wd1e /mnt/usr
etc, etc...

Then use pax to copy from partition to partition.

pax -v -X -rw -pe / /mnt=20
pax -v -X -rw -pe /usr /mnt=20

Then, use installboot to make the drive bootable:

installboot -v -o timeout=3D5 /dev/rwd1a /usr/mdec/bootxx_ffsv1
