If I use dump to make a copy of the root filesystem, how can critical 
files like netbsd and ofwboot differ? diff -r says they are different, 
yet I just newfs'd the filesystem and did the dump.

The line from the scrip that does this (and works in some other places), is:
  $DUMP $DUMPARGS - ${RDEV}${PRIDISK}${SLICE} | ( cd /mnt; $RESTORE rvf - )

Where:
	RDEV=/dev/r
	DUMP=dump
	RESTORE=restore
	DUMPARGS="-0f"

PRIDISK is the primary disk to be dump'd from, and SLICE is the 
partition. "a" in this case. I'm dumping from sd1 to sd0, so /dev/sd0a 
is mounted to /mnt, and the line translates to:

	dump -0f - /dev/rsd1a | ( cd /mnt; restore rfv - )

I'm on 1.6.1, and another machine with 1.6R just successfully used the 
same script.

Thoughts?
