so basically this:

 > First do: fdisk -i wd2
 > 1. fdisk -u wd2 -> create partition 1 for netbsd.
 > 2. fdisk -a wd2 -> make partition 1 the active partition
 > 3. disklabel wd2 -> slice and dice drive up
 > 4. newfs each partition
 > 5. mount each partition such as /mnta /mnte/ /mntf and so on
 > 6. dump -0f - / | ( cd /mnta ; restore xf - ) for each partition
 > 7. verify each old slice matches the new slice via rsync.
 > 8. umount all of the temp mount points
 > 9. run installboot such as:
 > installboot -v -o timeout=5 /dev/rwd1a /usr/mdec/bootxx_ffsv1

Should this above be perfect?
